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

Economy: We need to reduce everyone tax rate and give the citizens back their buying power for this economy. This economy is not receiving taxes from the people who are participating in the underground economy which is detrimental to this economy.

Health Care: We should look at Rosebud, South Dakota, Sioux Tribe Reservation and Medicaid to see how the federal government health care at work.

Energy Independence: We should have a portfolio of diverse energy, which includes; oil, natural gas, coal, solar, wind, tidal turbines and nuclear (38 states have these plants). We should develop our energy resources to the point where we can export a portion of our energy and never import.

National Defense: Everybody knows we have the best military in the world. We are therenow because of our troops being well trained and disciplined. It is the government responsibility to ensure that our troops have the proper personnel and logistic support in order to complete their mission. We should and always support the troops regardless of their deployment and our views.

Israel: Jordan, Syria and Lebanon should donate land for the Palestinian State. 100% in support of Israel.[10]
