- "This so-called Personhood Amendment is vague, risks unintended consequences on women's healthcare, and hurts the pro-life cause and candidates," stated Leing. "I do not support it." (votesmart.org)
- "Further, the focus needs to be on growing the economy to increase the revenue base, rather than on increasing taxes." (votesmart.org)
- "We must focus on finding savings in every part of the budget. We can cut earmarks, reduce inefficiencies, and reintroduce Pay-As-You-Go policies. Further, the focus needs to be on growing the economy to increase the revenue base, rather than on increasing taxes." (votesmart.org)
- We must reduce unnecessary regulations and tax burdens, and remove the obstacles that are preventing growth. (votesmart.org)
- "Within a decade, the United States could become energy independent but only if we take advantage of the natural resources that exist in this country, such as natural gas. George will champion policies that responsibly develop the natural resources we have right here in America.George also has years of experience working in the renewable energy industry. Renewable energy sources like wind, solar, geothermal, and others have great potential, and need to be a part of the future of our energy policy in America. George understands that alternative energy only makes sense if it is economical and sustainable. He will work to provide a better regulatory environment so that these companies can become profitable, and stand on their own to bring us into the future." (votesmart.org)

- "The Second Amendment affords individuals the right to keep and bear arms. George opposes a national gun registry and laws that restrict the right of law-abiding citizens to own guns. Policies that make it more difficult for innocent Americans to protect their homes and families make our communities less safe. George stands with gun owners and will be a defender of your rights." (votesmart.org)
- "The ACA is fundamentally flawed. Americans deserve far better. Individuals and their doctors are best positioned to make medical decisions, not the federal government. More and more we are learning that government bureaucrats will be imposing their will on our personal healthcare decisions by virtue of the ACA. [...] The ACA must be replaced with sensible patient-focused reforms to bend the cost curve." (votesmart.org)

- The NSA is violating our civil liberties and is out of control. Congressional oversight is necessary to refocus our intelligence agency on targeting terrorists and the threat they pose to our country and our families. The NSA must stop its warrantless collection of data and spying on innocent Americans. (votesmart.org)
