Gary Trauner on Government Reform

Stop the harmful lobbying games with government

• Work to close the revolving door in DC between government officials and lobbying firms/industry associations.
• Promote a tax system that truly benefits the middle class and is simpler, but more progressive.
• Incentivize companies to invest in labor (through training & hiring) instead of prioritizing capital.
• Promote a competitive market environment while also promoting a living wage.

Work hard to take the stink out of bad policies & laws

I will:
• Work to close the revolving door in DC between government officials and lobbying firms.
• Make sure that the same rules and laws that apply to the public apply to Congress.
• Work to remove corporate money from politics and political campaigns
• Work to end the Citizens United decision that allowed corporations to spend money to influence our electoral process
• Refuse to consider any bill that does not follow regular order and receive open debate.

CC:Oppose strict Constitutionalist judges.

The Christian Coalition Voter Guide inferred whether candidates agree or disagree with the statement, 'Appointing Judges Who Will Adhere to a Strict Interpretation of the Constitution' Christian Coalition's self-description: "Christian Voter Guide is a clearing-house for traditional, pro-family voter guides. We do not create voter guides, nor do we interview or endorse candidates."
