Issues
Campaign themes
2012
Pence's campaign website lists the following issues:[1]
- Leading on Jobs and the Economy
- Excerpt: "Small businesses are the backbone of strong rural communities. In 2012, I championed legislation that provided tax credits for value added Ag jobs, spoke up for alternate energy development, and encouraged more State support for rural development."
- Promoting Efficient and Ethical Government
- Excerpt: "For government to be effective the public must believe that elected officials, lobbyists, and Legislators are honest and ethical. I will continue to back an Independent Ethics Commission to re-assure public confidence."
- Supporting Idaho’s Public Schools
- Excerpt: "As a retired teacher, I know education is the best investment we can make in our future. Thatʼs why I will never stop fighting to make Idahoʼs public schools our number one priority."
