Issues
Budget and Spending
We need to restore fiscal responsibility in Washington, D.C. The independent Congressional Budget Office has noted several times that our federal spending is unsustainable.Constitution
When I was sworn in as a Member of Congress, I took an oath to "support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic."Education
I am deeply concerned by the deterioration of our nation’s public school system.Energy and Environment
American energy is the fuel that drives our economy and our way of life. That is why I support a free-market, all-of-the-above approach to harness our vast natural resources and keep prices low for American families.Foreign Affairs
In the realm of foreign affairs, I am committed to ensuring U.S. national security, promoting free trade, defending our allies, protecting U.S. sovereignty, and fighting for religious freedom.Gun Rights
As a United States Representative, I took an oath of office to “support and defend” the Constitution—including the Second Amendment.Health Care
Whether you are a small business owner, an employee, or a parent, the quality and cost of your healthcare influence your quality of life. Since Obamacare ushered in a government takeover of our healthcare system representing one-sixth of our economy, I have heard from many of you about your struggles with Obamacare. The ill-fated law isn't working for you.
Historic Tax Reform
Tax reform will undoubtedly boost the economy, create jobs, and lower taxes. Americans will keep more hard-earned money in their pocket. The standard deduction will double, meaning the tax bracket the federal government does not tax will expand to $12,000 for single filers and $24,000 for married couples. The Child Tax Credit will double from $1,000 to $2,000.
Illegal Immigration
The United States is a nation formed on the rule of law. Each year, however, hundreds of thousands of aliens deliberately violate our nation’s laws by unlawfully crossing U.S. borders.Jobs and the Economy
The best way to get American families and businesses moving again is to allow them to keep more of their income. To give power back to the people, Congress should support across-the-board tax cuts. These cuts should be broad-based so that Washington isn’t picking the winners and losers, and they must be permanent so businesses can actually plan and invest.
National Security
Colorado’s Fifth District is the proud home to one of our nation’s most military-intensive congressional districts and to more than 100,000 veterans who have served our country with distinction and honor. My goal as a ranking member of the House Armed Services Committee is to advocate on behalf of our troops.
Pro-Life
Congressman Lamborn’s legislative record reflects his unwavering dedication to protecting the sanctity of human life from conception to natural death, the terminally ill, and all whose lives are threatened by physician assisted suicide.Social and Traditional Values
Our country has been blessed with greatness because it was founded upon sound principles by people of strong moral character. If we as a nation are to continue to progress, we cannot allow our fundamental values to erode.
Transportation
Transportation, like water, is an important priority in a region with high growth like ours. It is important that we concentrate on maintaining safe roads and highways in a manner that reflects our growing needs.
