Campaign themes
2016
Schuler's website highlighted the following campaign themes:[2]
Education
- Excerpt: "Given my twenty-eight years in public education, both as a teacher and as an administrator, I am well informed on this topic from direct experience. Plus, given education’s importance to the future of the state, I find it hard to believe education would not be on any legislator’s list of top three 'highest priorities.'"
Tax Reform
- Excerpt: "Yes, yes, 'tax' is the only three-letter 'four-letter' word in the language, particularly for legislators. Still, every legislator in Frankfort knows that the state needs to reform the state’s tax code; however, no party wants to be the first to actually propose it. How is the state to move forward when it has a tax code last overhauled more than half a century ago?"
Funding the State’s Pension Systems
- Excerpt: "By now informed voters know how woefully underfunded our state’s pension systems are, both the Kentucky Retirement System (KRS manages five different retirement systems; its employees pay into the state system as well as into Social Security), and the Kentucky Teachers Retirement System (KTRS is a completely separate system from KRS; its retirees do NOT pay into or receive Social Security)."
