Posted on 26. Jul, 2010 by ywwlawrence in Candidates for US Representative

Dale Brown was born in Centerville, Iowa in 1947 and grew up on his father’s farm. With his first job at age eight, he worked his way through grade school and into college. He put himself through a local junior college, was accepted into the Air Force ROTC, and spent a year at Iowa State University. He entered the U.S. Navy in 1969 and served until 1982. Upon leaving, Brown worked as an engineer for various corporations and pursued his Bachelors of Science in Mathematics at the University of Rhode Island. He is currently retired and is taking this time to venture into politics.

Stance on the Issues:

Immigration- Brown believes that the primary way to reduce illegal immigration is to complete the border wall between the United States and Mexico. He thinks that all applicants for legal immigration should be granted work visas.

Foreign Policy / Iraq- Brown does not believe that we can force democracy upon a people if they are not receptive to it and that that mind frame should determine our policy in Iraq.

Abortion- He completely opposes abortion unless it is necessary to save the mother’s life.

Energy- Brown does not support cap and trade policy as it is his belief that it has the potential to raise energy costs and lose jobs if companies decide to move elsewhere.

Education- Brown believes that in both public and private schools, the federal government should only have the authority to ensure there are standardized programs that meet a set of educational standards, and that in public schools it should also ensure that there are no religiously or politically biased programs.

Economy- He believes that the government should remain separate from the private sector.
