Campaign themes

2014

Betterton's website highlighted the following campaign themes:[1]

Public Education: Foundation of Our Future

  • Excerpt: "Andy Betterton understands that a high-quality public education is vital to the success of our children. Andy does not believe in using public tax dollars to send a select few children to private schools while the rest of our public schools lose funding. Andy will fight for fair educational opportunities for all of Alabama’s children."

Investing in Alabama Today for a Better Tomorrow

  • Excerpt: "With unemployment numbers high and our economic growth remaining stagnant, Andy Betterton will prioritize innovative recruitment of new and expanding industry. The Shoals was once a stronghold of Alabama industry and Andy knows we can put people back to work and revitalize our economy."

A Healthier, Stronger Alabama

  • Excerpt: "A healthier Alabama means a stronger workforce, more affordable healthcare, and a better chance at success. The opportunity to expand Medicaid in Alabama is one that must be taken advantage of. Andy knows it not only benefits those who are uninsured, but also those who have insurance coverage and are looking for lower costs."
