Campaign themes

2014

Miller listed the following issues on his campaign website:[2]

  • Budget
Excerpt: "According the Legislative Service Agency, Iowa has 1 Billion in reserves. Iowa is also expected to have significant levels in roll over funds. No budget crisis exist, therefore we do not have to cut critical investments to our state's educational institutions, environmental protections, economic development projects, or other essential state government initiatives. We have the available resources to make smart targeted investments, which will make our state a better place to live."
  • Drugs
Excerpt: "The War on Drugs has failed. It is time for a new direction in our drug policies. Economist and policy experts, are now urging us to consider legalizing marijuana to create a new lucrative tax revenue source, and dramatically reduce incarceration cost. If we cannot stop individuals from enjoying marijuana, then we should enact a system of regulation and taxation similar to what is in place with alcohol or tobacco. The revenue created will be so lucrative, we could fund almost any possible program we would like to have."
  • Education
Excerpt: "To ensure our path back to top in the nation we must invest in Iowa’s Board of Regents Schools, Iowa’s community colleges, teacher training, and teacher recruitment programs to ensure the best educators teach in Iowa and to ensure the most promising future for Iowa. To ensure that our students stay in the state, and can afford going to school, students that commit to stay in Iowa, and buy a house or sign a long term lease, should be allowed to enroll into a debt repayment assistance program."
  • Jobs
Excerpt: "We must expand tax incentives for employers to hire new workers and start up shop here in Iowa. We must invest in job training programs so that individuals can learn new job skills for the changing economy."
  • Environment
Excerpt: " We must continue to invest in green infrastructure and transportation projects to reduce our carbon footprint and create new good paying jobs for Iowans."
  • Same sex marriage
Excerpt: "[A]ny efforts to restrict your freedom to marry will not be supported."
  • Healthcare
Excerpt: "Continuing the Medicaid expansion will help to ensure these goals are reached. To finish where the Medicaid expansion left off, a single payer healthcare system such as Medicare for all should be enacted. To combat long term trends, physical education and family and consumer science courses must work be restored, and we must encourage work fitness programs to ensure a healthier Iowa."
  • Unions
Excerpt: "Our rights to unionize and collectively bargain need to be protected."
  • Veterans
Excerpt: " VA clinics can be expanded in order to serve the needs of veterans."
  • Voting
Excerpt: "We must ensure a system which will make it easier to vote, and encourages everyone to participate. The false war on voting rights must end, and our system must ensure that discrimination will not occur."
  • Abortion
Excerpt: "Women's choices about what is best for their body, is best left between them and their doctor."
