  • "I will support effective military programs necessary to defend our homeland and interests around the world. This means continuing our strategic triad of bombers, ICBM’s and ballistic missile submarines. In a world where we see increasing challenges in Asia, this also means a minimum of twelve aircraft carrier battle groups. We need to maintain NATO and Pacific bases, a 21st century cyber warfare capability, expanded capabilities in space, and more robust anti-ballistic missile capabilities. Considering Greenville-Spartanburg’s Lockheed Martin’s presence, Foreign Military Sales also represent a win-win for our nation's defense and for South Carolina, meaning the FMS process needs to be improved and simplified so allies and potential partners will be more inclined to 'Buy American'."

  • "President Obama’s policy for addressing energy independence was 'all of the above'. I fully support that approach to energy. The federal government should not overtly pick the winners, because likely we’ll guess wrong. But the federal government also has to keep the playing field level. A kilowatt-hour of solar may cost more than one from a coal generating plant – but the air quality and coal tailings have to be accounted for fairly with respect to the people breathing the air and living next to the dump where the coal residue ends up. I will pay close attention that the federal government’s role in energy production is balanced honestly regarding the actual technology and environmental issues, not on the lobbyist’s campaign contributions. Our Upstate, with GE Power and Water’s plant in Greenville, is a world leader in natural gas and wind energy production. This positions our area to lead the world in Energy if we have the leadership to do so. I will fully support the EX-IM bank in the assistance of our local Energy and Aerospace Equipment manufactures and their employees to be Global Export winners." (www.jtdavisforcongress.com)

  • "For handguns the laws and regulations are less invasive. For military grade rifles such as AR-15 variants, I will support laws and regulations regarding ownership that are more demanding in terms of owner vetting, owner required training, and weapons storage to a degree tighter than for a handgun." (www.jtdavisforcongress.com)
  • "Obamacare Conclusion 1 – it’s an improvement. Conclusion 2 – it’s far from perfect. Conclusion 3 – improve it, not repeal it." (www.jtdavisforcongress.com)
  • "I do not support a southern border-to-border, 2000-mile Trump Wall with manned gun towers, kill zones, and land mines." (www.jtdavisforcongress.com)
  • "The Trump Wall: Of course there should be border structures and patrols that are effective to prevent illegal immigration, to stop illegal drugs, and to support our national security. But also the physical border needs to be efficient for trade and tourism. " (www.jtdavisforcongress.com)
  • "I support a DACA process and other common sense programs that remove the shadows giving good illegal immigrants the opportunity to contribute to and enhance our society for all." (www.jtdavisforcongress.com)
