Campaign themes
2013
In an interview with the Fairbanks Daily News-Miner, Lambert explained her view on the district's most pressing issues:[7]
|
"I think the budget is always going to be one of the most important issues any time. I really think we need to take somewhat of an aggressive approach to find the money where we can and make sure we’re fiscally responsible with the money we do have. The superintendent has said the budget is going to be flatlined for like the next five years, but we need to go out and press hard and lobby for additional funding from both the state and local government to make sure our students have the resources to be competitive when they graduate." |
