Campaign themes

McGary's website highlighted the following campaign themes:

Jobs

• Excerpt: "We must work with local chambers and other business-minded entities to make Tennessee as business-friendly and transparent as possible."

Education

• Excerpt: "We need to keep focus on improving the teacher evaluation process. Properly identifying good teachers from weak ones is vital towards strengthening our schools."

Healthcare

• Excerpt: "Too many Tennesseeans are either underserved by the healthcare industry or without any health benefits. Studies clearly show this results in an increased risk for the spread of disease and failure to early diagnose crippling and fatal ailments."
