Campaign themes
2014
Salsman's website highlighted the following campaign themes:
| “ | Education is the driving force behind a successful community. An educated workforce is a highly sought after consideration of large employers, along with infrastructure and low energy costs. To bring the businesses in and the jobs they create, we should be supporting our educators and ensuring they have what they need to effectively get the job done. If we can improve the education system, it would serve as an incentive for businesses to bring in jobs, reduce the number of citizens forced to rely on the already exhausted SNAP and WIC programs, decrease the number of necessary reduced lunches and improve the overall standard of living in our small rural community.
Another way to bring in businesses (large and small employers) is to provide an atmosphere conducive to growth. Lowering taxes and cutting burdensome regulation, not only give breathing room to already established owners, but creates an opportunity for innovation and new start up companies. The best thing I could do for you as a small and/or new business owner is get out of your way. By increasing the number of new businesses in our area, the more sales tax revenue we are likely to take in, getting us that much closer to being able to responsibly look at funding options for large infrastructure projects. We need these projects to grow our economy, but not on the backs of the already burdened citizens. As your State Representative, I will make each decision on your behalf the same way I make them on my own: “How will this affect my children?”[2][3] |
