==Political Views==
On [[abortion]], George LeMieux is [[pro-life]] except in cases of incest or "parental abuse" involving a minor. Although he opposes [[same sex marriage]] he supports gay adoption and same-sex benefits. On a [[tax]] reform he has stated that "Income taxes unfairly penalize hard work, and a progressive tax system deters hard work. As for sales-tax rebates for stadiums and arenas, I would prioritize our tax money in other ways." <ref>http://www.tampabay.com/news/politics/state/george-lemieux-on-the-issues/1031836</ref> Upon his Senate announcement LeMieux said he was worried about the national [[deficit]] and was a believer in "limited government." Additionally, LeMieux said he was "concerned" about current proposals for the government option in health care, although stopped short of opposing it. <ref>http://www.nytimes.com/2009/08/29/us/politics/29florida.html</ref>
LeMieux opposes off-shore drilling in Florida's coast.
