Handel's campaign website stated the following:

“

Strengthen Communities & Support Our Local Police

Here in Georgia’s 6th Congressional District, we are fortunate to have so many dedicated police officers who work day in and day out to keep our communities and our schools safe. We’ve watched in horror as rioters and looters have hijacked peaceful protests. It hit too close to home when rioters took over the streets in metro Atlanta, destroying businesses, terrorizing neighborhoods, and, sadly, even killing an innocent little girl. Democrats say that the answer is to defund the police. Well, here in our community, our local police have always had our backs, and in Congress, I’ll have theirs. We need our local law enforcement more than ever, and I’ll fight any effort to defund our local police departments and take police out of schools.

Jobs & the Economy

The COVID-19 crisis has had a devastating impact on lives and livelihoods. Unemployment in metro Atlanta has skyrocketed to nearly 15%. Immediate goals have rightly focused on emergency assistance to families struggling to make ends meet in the face of job loss. In going forward, jobs and paychecks are the path to reigniting the economy. We must instill renewed confidence in workers, consumers and the markets with sound safety measures, aggressive pursuit of a vaccine, widespread availability of antibody testing, and stronger crisis capabilities. Additionally, liability protections are needed urgently so that businesses can reopen safely and responsibly without fear of frivolous lawsuits. In Congress, I worked with President Trump to secure passage of the Tax Cuts & Jobs Act and will work with him again to make key provisions permanent to help accelerate job creation and economic recovery. I will also work to increase access to capital (especially for small business creation and investment), continue regulatory relief, and implement incentives to draw back manufacturing from China and other countries to the US.

Ensure Affordable, Quality Health Care

Americans need a health system that actually works for them. Unfortunately, affordable and accessible remain a serious challenge. Like so many, Steve and I were forced onto the ACA exchange, and our premiums skyrocketed — from $350 a month to $1200 a month. In Congress, I will again take the lead to ensure that those with pre-existing conditions cannot be left out or priced out. I will also work to: expand private insurance options; decouple insurance from the employer so that individuals can take their plans with them; allow HSAs and HRAs to cover premiums; increase transparency modernize the reimbursement system to include concierge and telemedicine. I understand that the network of Community Health Centers a critical to providing quality care and affordability to our vulnerable population, and I will fight for adequate funding of these centers and support Medicaid block grants for states.

Standing with our Military and Veterans

Our military men and women — and their families — will also be able to count on me. The freedoms we have today are because of their bravery, commitment and sacrifice. We have the responsibility to ensure that these brave men and women have the resources they need to do job they are asked to do. We have an obligation to keep our promises to them – and to their families – in uniform and when they take off the uniform.
I stood with our service men and women to rebuild our military with increased funding and to pass the largest pay raise in a decade for them. I supported the MISSION Act to allow our veterans to see private doctors when the VA can’t help them or is too far away. In Congress, I will fight the Democrats “Medicare for All” plan which would take away veterans’ Tri-Care – a promise is a promise, and I will work to ensure that we keep it.

Stop the Washington Takeover of Zonings

Some of the best cities in which to live are right here in Georgia’s 6th Congressional District. One of the reasons our cities are so vibrant is because of local control of zoning decisions. In fact, putting zoning decisions into the hands of local leaders was one of the driving forces behind the cityhood movement in Fulton and DeKalb counties. Now, Democrats want Washington to make zoning decisions — instead of your local leaders. The last thing we need is some Washington bureaucrat who’s never even been to your neighborhood making zoning decisions. I’ll fight to ensure that zoning decisions in your community stay in your community!

Opioid Crisis

The opioid crisis is taking a devastating toll in Georgia’s 6th District, and together with state leaders like Attorney General Chris Carr, I have worked to pass legislation to support prevention, treatment and long-term recovery programs; curtail the flow of synthetic fentanyl into our country; and strengthen our mental health system. I will continue to fight to stop devastation of addiction and ensure those who need help can get help.

Combat Human Trafficking

Atlanta has one of the highest incidence rates of human trafficking in the country. Hundreds of young girls and boys are sold every month right here in Georgia. I was proud to cosponsor legislation in Congress that shut down scores of sex trafficking websites and gave our law enforcement more tools to investigate, arrest and prosecute traffickers. I left home when I was just 17, and I know that it is by the grace of God that I remained safe and have been able to have such an amazing journey. That’s why I am determined to end the horror of trafficking.

Immigration & Securing the Border

Our immigration system is broken, and the crisis at our Southern border continues to intensify. Our current immigration system rewards those who break our laws, while punishing those who follow the laws. So, where do we start? We start by enforcing existing laws and by securing the Southern border.
I served on the Judiciary Committee where I played a key role on this important issue. I worked with my colleagues in committee and the full House to advance numerous bills to strengthen our immigration system, including: $75B to fund the border wall and other security measures, No Sanctuary for Criminals Act to crack down on sanctuary cities by denying certain federal funds, Kate’s Law to increase penalties for criminal aliens who re-enter our country illegally, and the Criminal illegal Alien Gang Member Removal Act to stop violent illegal alien gang members from re-entering our country.
In Congress, I will continue to aggressively push for border security and funding for the wall, support for our ICE and Border Patrol personnel, and a system that is fairer and more expeditious for those seeking to come to our country legally.

2nd Amendment

I am proud to have earned an “A” rating from the NRA, and I will always fight to protect the 2nd Amendment rights of law-abiding Americans. At the same time, we must come together to make our communities as safe as possible and find ways to stop gun and other types of mass violence tragedies, like Parkland, the Boston Marathon, and Dayton, before they happen. While violent crimes overall have decreased across the country, acts of mass violence have been on the rise, and we must identify threat assessment, intervention, and management techniques that can stop or at least diffuse these acts of violence. I was proud to support legislation to fund grants to local schools for security upgrades, address loopholes in the National Instant Background Check (NICS) system, and fully fund the 21st Century Cures Act to strengthen our nation’s mental health system. Still, more must be done, and we must recognize that there is no single, quick-fix solution. We need to: 1) fund research into the underlying causes of mass violence and the link between mass violence and mental illness, violent video games, and other societal and behavioral factors; 2) ensure that the various levels of law enforcement are interacting effectively and expeditiously in identifying and acting upon potential threats; and 3) facilitate more robust community-based threat assessment training.

Handel's campaign website stated the following:


“

Health Care

Obamacare is the single biggest intrusion into the lives of Americans in decades. Healthcare costs and insurance premiums have skyrocketed. Obamacare must be repealed and replaced with market-based, patient-centered reforms.

The current GOP proposal working its way through the House of Representatives remains a work in progress, but it is on the right track. It eliminates the individual mandate and related fines and repeals most of the taxes, including the medical device tax, and the so-called "HIT" tax.

The final version needs to treat Georgia and other states that did not expand Medicaid in an equitable way. Further, the current proposal includes an "age tax" that should be eliminated.

Immigration

True national security means securing our borders. The current immigration system is broken, and we MUST fix it. We need to build a wall along our southern border, demand immigration laws be enforced, improve the reliability of temporary visa programs, and create a viable guest worker program. While I understand and appreciate that we are a nation of immigrants, and believe we should be welcoming of those wish to migrate to our great country, we are also a nation of laws, and our laws must be respected. Israel

The United States and Israel share a remarkable friendship. Our shared objectives to defeat terrorism, prevent nuclear build-up in the region, and achieve sustainable peace in the region are foundational to our bond. At the same time, the US and Israel also have deep economic ties, with Israel being one of the top 20 direct investors in the US and more than 200 U.S. companies active in Israel.

The U.S.-Israel alliance remains critical as threats to both nations and our people continue to grow. From a nuclear-armed Iran, ISIS, and expanding military capabilities of Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran, the U.S. – Israel military partnership is integral to maintaining a stabilizing and protective force in the region.

Jobs and the Economy

After 8 years of the Obama Administration's growth stifling policies, our economy -- and American families -- has suffered. Certainly, the economy has rebounded but it has been more of an economic reset -- with lower growth and stagnated wages -- than a real recovery. Onerous, punitive regulations, costly red tape, and a complex tax structure with rates that are too high are limiting business expansion and job growth. And, wages have not yet fully recovered with many continuing to earn less than they did prior to the so-called Great Recession and still others who have given up on finding work altogether.

As a former business executive and CEO of the North Fulton Chamber of Commerce, I know first hand how to create jobs and enact aggressive economic development policies. I believe that the only way we can grow our economy at a more robust pace is through lower taxes and fewer regulations.

As a member of Congress, I will fight for a fairer simpler tax structure with lower rates for families and businesses. I will also work aggressively to achieve passage of legislation to implement a complete, rolling audit of all regulations -- agency by agency -- along with a 10 year sunset rule for regulations.

Medicare

I believe that we need to preserve and protect Medicare for current seniors and protect Medicare for future generations. It is unacceptable that Democrats raided the Medicare program with $716 billion in cuts to pay for Obamacare.

National Defense / Veterans

According to the United States Constitution, one of the central purposes of the federal government is to provide for the common defense of our nation and its people. No country is safe, nor any economy sound, without the backing of an extraordinarily strong military. I support President Trump's budget proposal to increase national defense spending, and I will continue to fight to ensure that our military has the tools and resources it needs to keep us safe.

As we work to ensure that today's men and women in the military have the resources they need to do their jobs and keep us safe, we also have an obligation to our veterans. I will be an advocate for these heroes and their families.

Pro-Life

I am Pro-life and believe that life begins at conception. We have made significant strides in fostering a Pro-life culture. Still, more must be done. I am proud to be the only candidate in this race to be endorsed by Susan B. Anthony List, and I am also certified by the Georgia Life Alliance.

Taxes

Our tax code is way too complex and even punitive. According to the National Taxpayers Union, compliance with the existing tax code costs Americans $234 billion in economic lost every year. This is simply unacceptable. I support a simpler, fairer, tax code that promotes economic growth, as well as reforms that promote the repatriation of overseas profits.[51]
