COVID
Helping Western North Carolina emerge from this once-in-a-century pandemic will be my top priority in Congress. We have to do everything we can to protect the health of our residents, especially those who are most vulnerable, and provide resources to our front-line medical workers. We also have to ensure we have an economy left to restart. We need to be guided by science and common sense, not politics.

Congressional Reform
Madison can’t wait to get to Congress to help President Trump finish the task of draining the swamp. Modern Washington represents itself and special interests. It’s time for DC to represent us – We the People.

Budget and Spending
Madison Cawthorn supports a Balanced Budget Amendment to the Constitution. However, Cawthorn is not going to let the perfect be the enemy of the achievable.

National Defense

Abortion
Madison Cawthorn is a pro-life advocate. Life begins at conception and the protection of life ought to begin at conception as well. The current system of infanticide can no longer be tolerated under any legal or scientific standard.

Israel

Environment
On the environment, Madison Cawthorn will join a new cadre of conservatives led by Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-TX) who are opposing AOC and the Green New Deal with better ideas and real solutions. They are proving that we can protect our natural and economic environment at the same time.

Election Integrity
A free and fair system of elections is our birthright as Americans. The strength of our Republic rests in our ability to elect our representatives and be confident that our votes are actually counted. We must act now to secure our elections, or else all that we have fought for centuries may be lost.

Right to Bear Arms
Our Founding Fathers recognized that the only true check on a tyrannical government is a well-armed citizenry. That is why they explicitly acknowledged the right to keep and bear arms in our Bill of Rights and why we must never cede an inch of ground in the fight against gun control.
