  • "Andy Coleman strongly supports Americans’ constitutionally recognized right to keep and bear arms. The Second Amendment uses plain language to ensure citizens enjoys this right. Those intent on committing evil will ignore firearm laws, or simply utilize other tools to commit violence. Additional regulations would not deter such people, but instead intrude upon the constitutional rights of law abiding citizens. Andy has owned and enjoyed firearms for almost two decades and is committed to preserving this critical constitutional freedom. Drafting additional legislation that infringes upon Second Amendment rights is not the solution, and Andy will oppose such efforts." (andycoleman.org)
  • "Obamacare must be stopped and thoughtfully replaced. America is blessed with the world’s finest doctors, hospitals, and technology. All of this is jeopardized by Obamacare, which is why it must be fully repealed." (andycoleman.org)
  • "Improved border security should include extending and reinforcing barriers along its southern border." (andycoleman.org)
  • "It's time to fund the wall, crack down on sanctuary cities, and end the era of "catch and release." (www.facebook.com)
  • "Coherent immigration policy must be firmly rooted in the rule of law, not a spirit of lawlessness." (www.facebook.com)
  • "Immigration reform begins with securing the border, enforcing the law, and tracking visa holders and guest workers. Improved border security should include extending and reinforcing barriers along its southern border. Additional immigration reform should only be considered after the border is secured, and existing laws are enforced. Andy will fight not only for sensible immigration solutions, but also to see them carried out." (andycoleman.org)
