Criminal justice reform: Graham said the United States incarcerates citizens at a much higher rate than many other countries, much of it involving nonviolent offenders. He said the criminal justice system needs to change to give more focus to violent crime.

National defense: Graham said overseas nation building and proxy wars "have left us worse off." He called for reining in those wars and shifting to a more defensive spending approach.
