In Washington, I am known as the “Solar Republican” because I am pushing clean energy policies forward through tax policies that allow alternative and renewable energies to blossom. My all-of-the-above approach will lower energy costs, increase development investments, create jobs, and I will make our nation safer by reducing our dependence on foreign oil.–Tom Reed
Our region needs a new representative in Congress — one who is dedicated to putting our people first, fighting for rural communities instead of the special interests.–John Plumb
| Candidate | John Plumb | Tom Reed |
| Fight against bad trade deals, like the Trans-Pacific Partnership, so we can stop our jobs being shipped overseas. | fix our broken tax code | |
| Champion renewable energy so our rural economies are a part of this growing economic wave, and upgrade our crumbling roads and bridges. | push an “all of the above” energy policy | |
| Create the conditions for entrepreneurs to succeed: Eliminate damaging, unnecessary red tape and provide resources so they have a better environment to make their plans a reality. | stop unnecessary government regulation | |
| Help students finance and refinance their student loans at competitive rates, or pay them back as a percentage of their income so they can afford to stay and work in our district and take risks while they’re young. | ||
| Connect rural communities to the free flow of online commerce, customers and clients with true high-speed internet and improved rural cellphone coverage. | invest in and repair our infrastructure | |
| Get spending under control, so we can strengthen our economy today and in the future without continuing to pass the buck on to future generations. |
