Fighting Wasteful Government Spending

Government spending is out of control and it is involved in too many things that should be left to individuals and private enterprise. We need more accountability of how tax-payer dollars are spent. Duke believes that government does not have a revenue problem, it has a spending problem. Duke will oppose any new taxes or fees, work to cut the waste in government, and build a more business friendly environment in Louisiana.

Defending the Rights of our Families

As a father of three, a husband, and a Christian, Duke believes in the values that make families stronger. Supporting the principle that marriage is between one man and one woman, Duke signed the Defense of Marriage Act Pledge. He believes that all unborn children should have the right to life. These are core issues to Duke and he will fight for them in Baton Rouge.

Opposing Illegal Immigration

Illegal immigration is an issue that some use to play politics. Duke will support legislation to protect the citizens of Louisiana from the social, criminal and financial impacts of illegal immigration. He will also support legislation to challenge the counting of illegal immigrants in the 2010 Census which caused Louisiana to lose a Congressional seat in Washington, D.C.

Protecting Our Second Amendment Rights

As a life member of the NRA, Duke will uphold the second amendment of the Constitution of the United States and applauds the Supreme Court’s decision in the District of Columbia vs. Heller case of 2008. Duke will oppose any attempts to limit the right to bear arms guaranteed in the Constitution.
