  • "If America is to realize powerful GDP growth rates like 4, 5, 6% or even more, Congress will need to cut the corporate tax rate." (www.lonegan.com)
  • "Education is about children, parents, teachers, and local school boards -- not bureaucrats in Washington D.C. I opposeCommon Core Curriculum Standards, which do little but dumb-down our public schools. I believe we should eliminate the Federal Department of Education established by President Jimmy Carter in the 1970s as a political payoff to the Teachers’ Union for Supporting his Presidential Campaign. Education is an issue best dealt with at the local level. I strongly support public, parochial, private, and religious school choice. Education dollars should follow the child. Parents should be allowed to pursue the best and highest quality education for their children regardless of how much money they make or where they live. Competition for education dollars will improve all schools, in the same fashion that competition improves all other aspects of our lives." (www.lonegan.com)

  • "The Federal Government’s core function is to protect its citizens, which is why I support a strong and vigorous national defense. If the choice is to fight the terrorists here or abroad, well, that’s an easy one – we must fight and destroy them where they are. That does not mean I support 'nation building,' but it does mean that as your congressman I will use all efforts to ensure we search for and find terrorists wherever they may walk, run, train, burrow, harbor, sneak, snake, or hide."
