Issues
Campaign themes
2012
Stevenson's campaign website listed the following issues:[1]
- Economic Opportunity
- Excerpt: "The economic climate is sputtering. I believe we must focus on policies that foster the expansion of Idaho-based companies, create new business, and encourage entrepreneurship and investment. More private-sector jobs, expanded tax base, more productivity: all these elements flourish when government does not get in the way, but rather facilitates a higher quality of economic life, free of excessive regulation."
- Strong Future
- Excerpt: "Education is key to Idaho's prosperity. We must continue to provide our citizens with quality educational opportunities. In addition, affordability and access to quality health care is a pressing need."
- Responsible Government
- Excerpt: "Idahoans are fortunate to live in a state that respects the importance of zero-based budgeting. Responsible fiscal planning and spending must continue."
