Campaign themes
2014
Schwabenlender's campaign website highlighted the following issues:[1]
Education
- Excerpt: "Amy knows that to improve the employability of the state’s workforce, the issue begins before our children even enter school. Amy knows that schools need more flexibility in deciding how to invest their resources in alignment with educational achievement. Arizona’s education system should support this flexibility as well as build in accountability through measurement of results that matter, outcomes of educational performance as opposed to seat time."
Jobs
- Excerpt: "Advocate to diversify our economy by working in partnership with the business community. By encouraging high-tech corporations to locate in Arizona and creating incentives for small businesses to establish themselves locally, these development projects can increase our state revenue and support our local economy through secondary jobs, such as marketing, accounting, and more."
Women
- Excerpt: "Advocating for women’s health by supporting and maintaining restoration of Medicaid, SNAP and other state aid programs that benefit working families."
Working Families
- Excerpt: "Amy knows that more work needs to be done to make sure people can find jobs that pay livable wages and that is why she will push to see that the state minimum wage increases from $7.80 to $10.10 to provide some relief for low-wage earners."
