2018

Hern’s campaign website stated the following:

“	STANDING UP FOR CONSERVATIVE VALUES Kevin will always fight to defend and protect our conservative principles. With many unique business opportunities, Kevin could have moved his family nearly anywhere in the country but he is very passionate about Oklahoma. As a proud resident of Oklahoma, Kevin understands what it means to fight for conservative family values. Kevin believes that all life is sacred and begins at conception, and will lead the way in Washington on pro-life issues and give voice to the voiceless. Kevin also believes that marriage is a sacrament between one man and one woman. The sacrament of marriage has strengthened societies for many generations, and we must uphold the truth of marriage in order to better ourselves as a nation. HEALTHCARE REFORM Kevin supports repealing Obamacare, and favors replacing it with a health care reform that lowers costs and improves services for patients. He believes that health care decisions should be made between patients and their doctors, not by government bureaucrats. Health care policy must be focused on solutions that actually make care more affordable and accessible instead of expanding the size of the federal government. Kevin believes Obamacare will ultimately result in higher cost of care, less access to care, and he believes it reduces the choice of care. The best quality and choice of care is given through a free-market driven healthcare system. It is that type of free-market system Americans appreciate about our options in healthcare, not federal government over-regulation. Kevin has lived this out by creating self-insured programs in his company and he will take those innovative solutions to Congress. SHAKE UP WASHINGTON When it comes to reforming the way Washington works, Congress must lead by example. Kevin Hern is a proven leader in business. His company provides funding and management advice to other companies that employ hundreds of people in jobs ranging from minimum wage to senior management. Kevin will use his experience and knowledge to focus on leading Congress by example, and put an end to the typical behaviors of career politicians. IMMIGRATION The Obama Administration ignored the rule of law, failed to secure the border, and allowed illegal immigrants to cross into the United States undeterred. As a result, American families face a sluggish job market, ceaseless national security threats, and uncertainty regarding the American way of life. Kevin Hern strongly opposes the Obama Administration’s policy of taking unconstitutional, unilateral actions on immigration. He believes we must enforce our existing laws, secure our borders, and ensure the American people that we are keeping their families safe from dangerous criminals. We are a nation of immigrants, but we are also a nation of laws. Kevin believes we must follow these laws in order to protect our national security. SECOND AMENDMENT Kevin prides himself on maintaining and fighting to maintain fundamental freedoms of the American citizen, which includes gun rights. Kevin believes in the Second Amendment, that every American has the right to own, carry and use a firearm. The freedom to bear arms and the right for an individual to protect his or herself, family, and property is a fundamental principle upon which our nation was built. Kevin will carry this ideology with him into Washington. ECONOMY AND JOBS Kevin has seen the American Dream fulfilled through hard work in his own life. As a business owner and job creator, who persevered through unknown and difficult times, Kevin firmly believes in every American’s right to own, invest, and prosper through hard work. Regulations of business should not work against growth and should work to promote economic confidence and entrepreneurialism. Kevin believes in a simplified tax system; that money earned should stay in the pockets of those who earned it. He is an advocate for reduced government regulation and spending. Kevin believes that the only route to repairing America’s economy is to cut spending. With increased economic growth, we will see the necessary decrease in unemployment rates.	”
