On the issues

The following positions are drawn from Campbell's responses on his campaign website and through BallotReady. All statements reflect the candidate's own claims.

Military spending and foreign policy

Campbell said he would push for cuts to bring defense spending close to 1% of gross domestic product. The U.S. allocates 3.5% of GDP to defense, according to his campaign site. He outlined five steps: an immediate halt to all military aid to foreign governments, consolidation of overseas U.S. military bases, elimination of contracts allowing private security firms and private military companies in armed combat, ending what he called price-gouging by defense contractors and banning defense contractor lobbyists from approaching members of Congress.

On foreign policy, Campbell said he would push for ratification of United Nations agreements he said would position the U.S. as a global leader in protecting civil liberties.

Healthcare

Campbell said he supports Medicare for All. He argued on his campaign site that the federal government has a duty to provide basic medical care and that a single-payer system would save taxpayers "several trillions of dollars" while making the nation healthier.

He said reproductive care is healthcare and that no citizen should be deprived of it.

Environment

Campbell said he would push for a constitutional "green" amendment establishing a government duty to ensure a safe, healthy environment. He also said he would seek legislation to eliminate carbon credit purchases, which he described as allowing polluters to keep operating while paying third parties to develop green projects.

Government reform

Campbell said he would propose a constitutional amendment imposing term limits: three two-year terms for U.S. House members, two six-year terms for senators and 18-year terms for Supreme Court justices. He also said he would push to abolish the Electoral College, adopt ranked-choice voting and add a "none of the above" option on ballots. He said he supports strengthening voter protections along the lines of the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act.

He said he would propose a separate amendment clarifying that constitutional rights apply only to individual persons, not artificial entities, aiming to overturn Supreme Court decisions granting rights to corporations.

Workers' rights

Campbell said all workers deserve safe workplaces, excellent benefits, quality pay and a means to address grievances without fear of retaliation.
