Marker Harris (N Carolina) participated in Ballotpedia's candidate survey on April nine, 2018. The survey questions appear in bold, and Mark Harris (North Carolina)' responses follow below.^[5]

What would be your meridian three priorities, if elected?

"

i) We have got to get our national debt nether control. We must pass budgets that are responsible and funds our priorities (IE Military and Edge Security) without funding all special interests and frivolous causes (IE Planned Parenthood and foreign aid to countries who detest u.s.a.). I think a Balanced Budget Amendment to the Constitution would be a slap-up place to start. 2) Nosotros must enact term limits. I believe this is the only manner to break the backs of the special interests and lobbyist in Washington DC. 3) Repeal and Replace Obamacare. Congress has promised to prepare this national disaster known equally Obamacare. It has been a burden on modest concern and individuals across the country. Nosotros demand a more free market, patient driven healthcare system that lowers cost and increases access for those seeking care. We can kickoff by promoting HSA's and allowing people to buy insurance across state lines.[6] [vii]

"

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about? Why?

"

I am passionate virtually adequately funding and supporting the military and our veterans. Equally the son of a World War II Prisoner of war, I sympathize immediate the sacrifice our men and women in uniform make for our country. We owe them a debt of gratitude and all the tools they demand while they are active as well equally honoring our commitment to our veterans after their service is completed. Immigration and Edge Security is some other area of passion. We need to build the wall and protect our borders. We need to enforce current immigration laws. We need to update our immigration laws to reflect the needs of our country. Cities and/or states that help, abet, induce or encourage violation of immigration laws ("sanctuary cities") should not be supported by the federal regime. As a pastor of thirty years, I am securely concerned nigh Religious Liberty. Perhaps more than whatsoever other of our God given rights that our founding fathers recognized, liberty of organized religion has been the i most trampled on. A quick bout of Washington DC hands proves that God and the Bible were a vital role of government. The offset amendment reads: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the complimentary exercise thereof..." but time after time government "regime" have made a routine of "prohibiting the complimentary practice thereof..." We need to repeal the Johnson Amendment once and for all and promote religious freedom beyond the nation.Cite mistake: Invalid <ref> tag; invalid names, east.m. too many [7]

Campaign website

Harris' campaign website stated the following:

"	Education The federal Section of Education was created in 1979. Since then, enquire yourself if public education has gotten better or worse? I believe that the more local the control of education, the improve the quality will be. I would back up President Trump & Education Secretary Betsy DeVos' button to decentralize control of education from Washington, and back to the States. Term Limits I am a house supporter of term limits. I believe that this is the just way to truly DRAIN THE SWAMP and interruption the backs of the special interests and lobbyists that command DC. I accept committed to sponsor and strongly advocate for a Constitutional Amendment for term limits in Congress. Taxation While positive steps were made in 2022 to reduce corporate and personal taxes, the end result savage far short of dramatically simplifying the taxation codes. Congress needs to take assuming action and completely eliminate the hundreds of thousands of pages of the current tax codes and supersede them with a concise, off-white and simpler process. This is the era of assuming thinking and ambitious! Terrorism Millions of Muslims accept lived in the Usa peacefully for hundreds of years. Religious liberty is probably the highest virtue that nosotros hold as a nation. That being said, there is no denying that radical factions of Muslims believe that killing "infidels" is their religious duty (jihad), and they consider the U.S. infidels. As a old Pastor, I know the history of religious wars, specially betwixt State of israel and her enemies. Our state should continue its unwavering support for the nation of Israel, and should absolutely continue to be pro-active in our defense against radical Muslims that would seek to cause us harm. Immigration We demand to build the wall and protect our borders. We demand to enforce current immigration laws. Nosotros need to update our immigration laws to reflect the NEEDS of OUR state. Cities and/or states that aid, advocate, induce or encourage violation of immigration laws ("sanctuary cities") should be prosecuted by the federal government. Obamacare Congress must proceed its promise to the American People and repeal and supervene upon Obamacare! We need to look at reform that is market-based and patient driven. A market-based arroyo would foster competition and empower individuals to make personal healthcare decisions between them and their doc. Opening the market place upward to buy insurance beyond state lines and encouraging HSA'south should exist at the heart of any major healthcare reform. National Defence A strong national defence is the cornerstone of a peaceful nation. Nosotros must invest in the tools and equipment necessary to ensure our military is the strongest in the world. Our military machine should be powerful plenty that nosotros strike fright in our enemies and show solid support for our allies. War machine As the son of a Globe State of war II Prisoner of war, I understand firsthand the sacrifice our men and women in uniform make for our state. We owe them a debt of gratitude and all the tools they need while service equally well as honoring our delivery to our veterans after their service. 2nd Amendment "A well-regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a gratis State, the correct of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." Numerous courtroom rulings and historical bear witness affirm that the intent of the founding fathers was to admit the God-given "...right of the people to go along and behave Artillery" that "shall non be infringed." The current outcry for additional legislation limiting gun ownership is a misguided attempt to reduce gun violence. History has proven that strict gun laws practise non reduce illegal use of firearms and opens the door for tyranny. The Role of the Federal Government The vast bulk of the functions that Washington currently performs are not in the Constitution. I believe that the main role of the federal authorities is to physically protect its citizens through a stiff national defense and protect their rights by limiting the federal government to its narrow Ramble role. Pro Life and Pro Family One of the most devastating blows to the American way of life has been the breakdown the family unit. A marriage consists of one homo and one woman. The Supreme Courtroom, in a 5-4 determination decided otherwise. I would back up the nomination of conservative Supreme Court Justices that would re-visit this decision as well as "Roe v. Wade". The term "life" applies to formulation. The courts have not acknowledged modern medical engineering science that clearly demonstrates life begins with conception and therefore haven't extended the protections afforded past police force to the unborn. This issue needs to be revisited and comprehensive biological and medical evidence be presented to the Supreme Courtroom and then that babies lives can be saved. Religious Liberty Perhaps more than than whatever other of our God given rights that our founding fathers recognized, freedom of religion has been the i near trampled on. A quick bout of Washington DC easily proves that God and the Bible were a vital part of government. Bible verses are engraved in our official federal buildings and monuments, and for the start two hundred years of our country's history prayer was often invoked at official authorities meetings - and non just "token" prayers to a nameless God, but devout and often lengthy prayers to a personal God (Congress all the same opens with a prayer from the Chaplain.) The start amendment reads: "Congress shall brand no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free practice thereof..." but time after time regime "authorities" have fabricated a routine of "prohibiting the gratuitous do thereof..." Career Politicians Career politicians are non getting the job washed. It's time for a new approach. [7]	"

Campaign website

The following issues were listed on Harris' campaign website. For a full listing of entrada themes, click hither.

"	Obamacare: I volition not vote for a upkeep that funds Obamacare. The failed law has placed an extraordinary burden on individuals and businesses and must be repealed and replaced. Taxes & the Economy: Loftier taxes are placing a massive brunt on working families and businesses. I back up lower tax rates across the board and will fight for substantive tax reform to simplify the tax code. Immigration: Securing the edge is the obligation of our federal government. America's illegal immigration trouble is placing an enormous burden on our economy and it remains a threat to our national security. National Security: National security must exist a priority. With rising threats to our nation and our interests, our armed services must be adequately funded in order to meet these threats. Transgender Bathrooms: This was a completely manufactured crisis, begun by Charlotte Mayor Jennifer Roberts and members of City Quango. The ordinance defied logic and the will of Charlotte residents. We must refuse this radical agenda and continue our restrooms condom. I have fought on the front lines from Day i against the Charlotte bath ordinance and I will continue to fight it. [vii]	"
