Campaign themes

On her 2011 campaign website, McCreery discussed her qualifications and goals:

• "I have always sought to put people first, both professionally and as a community volunteer. I served as Senator Joan Bray’s district aide for 8 years. Before that I worked in Governor Bob Holden’s administration. My invaluable experience in both the executive and legislative branches means that I can hit the ground running and will be an effective legislator on Day One."
