- "For years we marched in Right To Life marches in Washington, Fort Wayne and across the nation, demanding that our leaders reverse the disastrous decision made by the Supreme Court in 1973 legalizing abortion. I authored multiple bills on the state and federal level trying to protect the lives of the unborn in any way possible. Now that Roe vs. Wade has been overturned, our battle to protect life is not over. We must continue to ensure that every life, born and unborn, is valued and protected. There is still work to do on both the state and federal level and I will never stop working to create a culture that values every life in America." (www.gomarlin.com)
- "We can preserve Social Security and Medicare for the next generation and still enact thoughtful reforms to our nation's entitlement structure to reduce our national debt and the threat it poses to our children and grandchildren. It's time for Washington to get out of the way and allow American workers to get back to work!" (www.gomarlin.com)
- "Because of Washington's out of control spending and the broken tax system, millions of American families find it difficult to pay for basic necessities. The real American Dream is about hard work and opportunity, but we must fix the broken tax system to give American workers the freedom to succeed." (www.gomarlin.com)

- "The biggest threat to the American dream is Washinton's $37 trillion worth of debt and out of control spending! Inflation has re-emerged as one of the greatest threats to our families, businesses and economy. Because of Washington's out of control spending and the broken tax system, millions of American families find it difficult to pay for basic necessities. The real American Dream is about hard work and opportunity, but we must fix the broken tax system to give American workers the freedom to succeed. As the author of the Conservative Budget in the House of Representatives, I proved that if we eliminate wasteful spending and if we allow the American people the freedom to innovate, build and create their own opportunities, we can bring America back to solvency over time if we start now. When government is held accountable to live within its means, the full potential of the American economy is unleashed, and families thrive." (www.gomarlin.com)

- "Actions speak louder than words, and my record of protecting the second amendment rights of every American is long and clear. The Second Amendment to the US Constitution has been under attack for decades and I have been honored to protect and defend it on the state and federal levels. With a lifetime A rating from the NRA, I have defended our right to bear arms by co-authoring the Lifetime Handgun Permit in Indiana and authoring The Constitutional Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act as well as the Separation of Powers Restoration and Second Amendment Protection Act in the US Congress. As Chairman of the Republican Study Committeeâs Second Amendment Initiative, I have actively promoted educational outreach and activism to promote our right to bear arms. "The right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed." (www.gomarlin.com)
- "Paychecks are falling, employers are cutting hours and thousands of Hoosier families are struggling to afford even the most basic insurance. Government healthcare is not what we were promised and the wait times to see a doctor or have a much needed procedure are the longest they have been in our history. Thatâs why I have a step-by-step, common sense solution to health care reform that actually reduces costs and provides patient-centered solutions. Expanding free market solutions like Health Savings Accounts, transportable coverage, tax credits for businesses which provide health care and providing protection for doctors from frivolous lawsuits are the first steps toward providing access to the quality care Americans need. Americans deserve a healthcare system that works!" (www.gomarlin.com)

- "Our broken border with Mexico is beyond a crisis, and doublespeak and finger pointing are all we see from the politicians in Washington. The far left and open border globalists have zero respect for our national sovereignty, and they are currently aiding an invasion into our country. We know there are drugs flowing into every state in our nation and criminal cartels are getting a foothold here is the United States. In addition, the staggering number of illegals are no doubt allowing terrorist or spy networks to infiltrate the homeland. We need to finish the wall, fund the necessary law enforcement personnel and provide the technical resources to close our border once and for all. Until our border is fixed there should be no discussion of immigration changes or reforms." (www.gomarlin.com)
