Issues
Energy Independence
Tim Aalders trusts the free market to come up with solutions to America’s energy problems.
Jobs & Economy
Tim knows the best way to create jobs and grow the economy is to get government out of the way and let small business owners do what they do best innovate and create new jobs. I will fight alongside conservative Republicans to significantly reduce regulations.
Foreign Relations
America was never intended to be the police of the world. It saddens me to see countries who our brave men and women have helped liberate turn on our soldiers the weapons we provide them. America must never answer to socialist nations who are members of the UN, NATO, or world trade organizations. Our nation should maintain strong working relationships with our allies and stand firm against those who mean to do us harm.
Border / Immigration
As the son of immigrants, I am grateful that America welcomed my parents to be part of this great country. My parents wasted no time in getting jobs to ensure they would not be a burden on other Americans. They accepted the culture, learned English, and sent a son to defend our country. Today, many people seem not to understand the distinction between legal and illegal immigration.
The 2nd Amendment
I proudly support or 2nd Amendment Rights. The Second Amendment was and should always remain as the people's final protection of our unalienable rights. It is a right that should not be infringed upon and any politician or Supreme Court justice that decides to infringe upon that right, is violating their oath and should be removed.
Health Care
Since passage of the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare), working people have witnessed their premiums climb. We need to stop allowing HMO's to operate without competition which would drive prices lower. America cannot afford to provide healthcare for people residing in our country illegally. Hard working Americans should not have to subsidize their healthcare.
The U.S. Constitution
Many people today seem to believe the Constitution is outdated and not made for our current society. The Preamble to the Constitution states clearly: "And secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America." The Constitution has never failed us, but career politicians have failed the Constitution. The Constitution empowers us, "We the People," to control government. I believe we have lost that power in Washington.
Government Spending
In Utah, we know the value of a dollar. My neighbors and I balance our personal family budgets as well as our businesses' budgets. The United States government should not be exempt.
