Tom Willis on Principles & Values

	Tom Willis on Principles & Values

Protect right to live according to your faith

I will protect your right to worship, speak, and live according to your faith without fear of government punishment or censorship. I will stand firmly against the radical left's push to remake America. No gender ideology, no forced conformity, no mandatory pronouns. We need a revival of faith, family, and freedom.

Campaign slogan: "Veteran, Businessman, Father"

Willis has consciously built his campaign less on his policy ideas, which tend to follow the typical conservative program, than on his biography. On his campaign website, his varied roles ("Veteran, Businessman, Father") are featured prominently, and one has to dig a little to learn his stances on the issues. Interestingly, the Republican party does not appear to be mentioned at all, although Willis does compare himself to President Donald Trump ("a fellow outsider") and promise to be "the biggest supporter of the President's agenda to grow our economy, keep taxes low, and restore law and order to our immigration system."

He bills himself as a soldier first and foremost, driven to serve by a sense of duty. "You look around and see things and they're not right," he said. "We have some major needs in our country and it is going to take some people with integrity."
