Where they stand
American Farms, Manufacturing, and Self-Sufficiency
Buckner's stated campaign rationale is stopping socialism: “I'm running for U.S. Senate to warn the American people and the great people of South Carolina about the impending socialist revolution — and to stop the socialist revolution.” He adds: “That socialist message of free food, free rent, free housing, free education, free healthcare is very, very attractive.”
Lowering the Cost of Living
Buckner says people should be able to afford a home, raise a family, and build a better life. He wants to make it easier to build, expand opportunities in the skilled trades, and lower the cost of living.
