Campaign themes

2012

Rodgers's campaign website listed the following issues:[1]

  • Agriculture
Excerpt: "in its many forms, from large to small/dairy, beef, animal, tree, fruit, vegetable and all other"
  • Business
Excerpt: "especially small business which provides so many jobs around the state. I believe we need to encourage start ups that plan to provide employment especially manufacturers of durable goods"
  • Tourism
Excerpt: "I grew up on a farm that took in guest for farm vacations, a business that my grandmother started in the 1960s. Though some discount tourism as a low income employer, I know better. Tourism drives many different businesses and provides a broad range of employment. It also brings in a huge amount of money for the state."
  • Education
Excerpt: "Quality public education for our children and for our future."
  • Health care
Excerpt: "affordable healthcare for all Vermonters"
