Campaign themes
2014
In a public forum with all District 40 candidates, Harmston said on taxes that, "She is in favor of reducing income taxes for both the personal and corporate rate, which is 'different than giving corporations the tax-incentive breaks that we hear.' She expressed skepticism about corporate tax breaks because it is 'unproven whether we really have created and retained more jobs across the board.'"[1]
