The following issues were listed on Pittenger's campaign website. For a full list of campaign themes, click here.

Defend 2nd Amendment Rights: Robert Pittenger, the conservative, Republican candidate for U.S. Congress in North Carolina's 9th District, has been endorsed by the National Rifle Association for his strong stance in defense of our right to bear arms.

Foreign Affairs: Because the world is so interconnected, matters and events in places we’ve hardly heard of can affect America’s economy and security. Both our allies and our enemies are watching our every move.

Financial Services: New jobs come mainly from small businesses, and large and small businesses alike need capital to grow. When hardworking American families sensibly use credit to finance education, buy cars, or even remodel their kitchens, they are helping the economy.

Economy & Jobs: Much of America is financially struggling. Huge regulatory legislation such as Dodd-Frank, promises of “hope and change,” and trillion dollar-spending deficits each year have not helped the economy. Too many people in our communities still don’t have financially supportive jobs.

Budget & Spending: Washington spends money uncontrollably—America must borrow $1 million every thirty seconds to pay for Washington’s spending. And what do we get? We have more taxes and regulations, a larger bureaucracy, a shrinking economy, and fewer jobs for families.[114]

Pittenger Pledges Conservative Tax Reform

Excerpt: "I’ll work to free people from their tax burden so they’ll have more money to do what’s best for their families and businesses. Small-business owners create jobs and put people to work, but they can’t do that when they’re weighed down by taxes. Lower taxes encourage business owners to invest and hire more people."

Pittenger Vows Strong National Security

Excerpt: "I believe that our military men and women are the best and the brightest. They deserve every military advantage we can give them. As your congressman I will fight to protect our defense budget and to fight for the money that our service men and women need. I will make our security the priority of our government."

Pittenger Promises Fiscal Responsibility

Excerpt: "Robert Pittenger, the conservative, Republican candidate for U.S. Congress in North Carolina's 9th District, discovered over $1 billion in wasteful spending when he was a State Senator."

Pittenger Protects Our 2nd Amendment

Excerpt: "Although this right is guaranteed by the 2nd Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, it is under constant attack by liberals in Washington. That’s why we need strong, conservative leaders like Robert Pittenger to defend our right to keep and bear arms."
