Issues

Campaign themes

Orrall's website highlights the following campaign themes:[3]

Jobs and the Economy

  • Excerpt:"I support lower taxes, hiring incentives, and the reduction of oppressive regulations."

Fiscal Responsibility

  • Excerpt:"Our state government taxes, spends, and grows too much for us to afford. We cannot continue to support irresponsible spending at the state level at the expense of local aid that is critical to our cities and towns."

Education

  • Excerpt:"In order to inspire underperforming students, we need to partner with small businesses and retirees to mentor students and encourage community involvement in school initiatives."

Government Accountability

  • Excerpt:"I believe we should elect legislators who will serve the public for the sake of solving the problems we are facing. I will not take gas travel stipends or a pension."

Immigration

  • Excerpt:"We must enforce our immigration laws. We do not have the money to pay for housing, schooling, and medical care for people who are not following the rules of the United States."
