Issues
Campaign themes
Kaiser's website highlights the following campaign themes:[1]
Job Growth is a Top Priority

Taxes

- Excerpt:"Dan understands, appreciates and values the sanctity of all human life, as such, Dan is pro-life. Dan opposes taxpayer funding of abortion and the heinous practice of partial-birth abortion."
