Republican congressional candidate plans to abolish taxes, agencies and ‘anything big’

Republican Chad Young’s congressional campaign is based on his idea of being a “patriot,” abolishing “anything big” — including multiple federal agencies — and completely eliminating taxes.

Young is the founder of the Life Skills Programs — a nonprofit for troubled youths — in his hometown of Rogers, Arkansas, with a second location in Pratt. Young has lived in Lawrence on and off for two years and is seeking the GOP nomination in a crowded 2nd District race.

Young defines a patriot as a constitutionalist who supports freedom of the people, regardless of gender, sexuality, or race.

“I think it’s very important to have different perspectives and look at how we can grow as a nation,” Young said. “We don’t know one another.”

One perspective he won’t accept is that of a “tyrant.” Young believes that “very few of the politicians we have in place are not tyrants,” citing those who would turn against the Second and Fourth amendments as examples. He idolizes the unity brought to America by former Presidents John F. Kennedy and Ronald Reagan, as well as civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr.

“Our government has become the people’s enemy,” Young said. “We have to stop that.”
