- "As your Representative, I will make Social Security benefits one of my top issues that I will relentlessly fight to preserve without placing the burden on us who already pay too much tax. There are better answers available such as cutting erroneous spending on things that donât benefit Americans. I promise you as your Representative I will not stop fighting for your rights and your benefits. We cannot, we will not allow these critical benefits to be cut nor will we allow more tax to be collected to make up for inaction." (www.tarazon4nc.com)

- "The government over-spends and takes too much from us because they can, and because they always have." (www.tarazon4nc.com)
- "We can't keep printing money to fight high costs of living, consequently this is part of the reason things get more expensive. I am not a finance expert but we all know the more money the government prints the less our dollar is worth. That is "common sense." I used quotes because common sense isn't common and that is especially true with the way the government spends our money. They aren't being good stewards of our finances." (www.tarazon4nc.com)

- "As your Congressman I will never tire of protecting our Constitutional rights and our God given rights. The 2nd amendment is the only one that protects the rest, without it our Republic will not survive. I will not falter on this, there is no compromise to the 2nd Amendment." (www.tarazon4nc.com)
- "Do we have a gun problem? Absolutely not, we have a Godless nation problem. We have a mental health crisis. We have a lack of patriotism problem. We have a lack of personal accountability problem. We have a crime problem. Don't blame an inanimate object for the fact that we as a Christian nation have moved away from our core values of God, Country and Family. When we accept anything we fall for everything." (www.tarazon4nc.com)
- "I will always have one gun less than I need. I have a concealed carry permit and practice diligently using my self-defense weapons so I can be as proficient and safe as humanly possible. This is my obligation as a responsible gun owner. My children respect firearms, we shoot together, we hunt together, we learn and enjoy responsible gun ownership together. I'll never share a staged photo of me in the woods pretending to love my freedom the 2nd allows. I take this as serious as my life because that is what is at stake." (www.tarazon4nc.com)
- "As a member of Congress, I will work hard to provide adequate supplemental funding for rural hospitals and introduce legislation that will prevent hospital closures. We cannot allow hospitals to close because of money, this is not acceptable in America. We as a nation must stop the opioid epidemic, too many people are dying, and it will continue getting worse unless we take immediate action. North Carolina recently expanded access to Medicaid, which is a step in the right direction. As a Representative I will work with state officials to continue the effort of providing residents with access to healthcare they can afford. My priorities will be to make sure no more hospitals close, hospitals have adequate resources including doctors, and North Carolina residents have healthcare coverage for any budget."

- "As Congressman I will work diligently to enforce lawful border policies of restricted entry, scrutinized screening of immigrants and humanitarian relief of the existing crisis at hand. We need lawmakers willing to do what needs to be done to secure our country and return us to the beacon of freedom where people are encouraged to come and be successful." (www.tarazon4nc.com)
- "In order to fix the serious damage being done to our country through the border we need action. The first order of action needs to be secure the border. We have to keep people from casually walking across the border or being delivered through other methods like watercraft. Stop the influx, force everyone to remain in Mexico." (www.tarazon4nc.com)
- "There are criminals also crossing our border uncontrolled, there will be immeasurable things that happen for a very long time because of our negligence. Now the drugs. We all know there is a serious problem with fentanyl being smuggled into our country and one of those avenues is our southern border. Fentanyl kills in one dose, it comes so concentrated it kills without the person willingly ingesting. This is a crisis that will continue killing until we make it cease to exist."

- "What this is also doing is diluting and negating our legal immigration process and laws. We are mostly all immigrants or immigrant descendants, our country will only continue to be great if we foster the right growth through regulated immigration. We should never stop anyone lawfully from entering our country, living here as a free citizen and achieving all the success they set out to achieve. What we must stop is massive caravans of people flooding our borders, saturating our already weak infrastructure, stop illegal drugs from coming into the border and stop the humanitarian crisis we are allowing to unfold before our eyes."

- "We can't keep giving money to foreign countries with no end in sight, and no accountability of what that money is actually being used for." (www.tarazon4nc.com)
