ON THE ISSUES
Pro-Life & Pro-Family
Mark fervently believes in the sanctity of all human life, from conception to natural end. A pivotal figure in the pro-life movement, he asserts that every life is invaluable. Mark is also a stalwart defender of traditional family values, having led the charge for the 2012 marriage amendment and consistently advocating for measures that uphold the foundations of our families.
Prioritizing National Security & Strong Borders
Our nation's safety and sovereignty hinge upon robust border security. Mark asserts that the current state of our borders, exacerbated by Biden's weak border policies, has created unprecedented challenges for our nation. He is committed to fortifying our borders, supporting advanced technology, and rigorously enforcing our immigration laws to protect American citizens and preserve our nation's integrity.
Fortifying Our Nation & Honoring Our Borders
Mark, drawing inspiration from his father's WWII experiences, is unwavering in his commitment to a robust national defense. He emphasizes the need for a formidable military that deters threats, stands with allies, and above all, honors the sacrifices made by our servicemen and women, both during and after their service.
Empowering Teachers & Ensuring School Choice
While Mark firmly supports a strong public education system, he believes parents, not the Federal Government, should have the final say in how to educate their children. Whether public, private, charter, or homeschool, families should have full freedom to choose what works best for their children. Every child should have an opportunity to learn, grow, and succeed in the career path they choose. Mark will fight for policies that focus on local control, and maximum flexibility, and ensure that students have the most educational opportunities available to them.
Enforcing Laws & Building Safer Communities
A society that fails to uphold its laws emboldens those who break them. Mark firmly believes that the foundation of a safe community is the unwavering enforcement of our laws. By holding criminals accountable and championing rigorous law enforcement, Mark is dedicated to ensuring that every North Carolinian can live, work, and thrive in a secure and peaceful environment.
Working to End Wasteful Spending & Fight Inflation
A government that can't pay its bills is a government unworthy – and unable – to serve its people. That's why, since being elected to Congress, Mark has been a leading voice in the effort to cut the kind of excessive government spending that led to the record-high inflation we saw under the Biden Administration. He is determined to deliver legislation that will take the burden of higher costs off of American taxpayers, and is working to ensure the people of NC-08 have more take-home pay so that families can thrive again.
