Campaign themes

2016

The following issues were listed on Shudofsky's campaign website. For a full list of campaign themes, click here.

“
  • Economy: Small businesses are drivers of jobs and economic growth, yet we continue to undercut them with over-regulation, an unfriendly tax code, and uncertainty surrounding our country’s long-term economic security. Too many middle-class workers are still searching for jobs and are still struggling to make ends meet to support their families. We can change course by enacting policies that encourage job creation instead of stifling it.
  • Good Government: It’s time to hold our elected representatives accountable. We can achieve that by introducing transparency, openness, and visibility to the halls of Congress. We also need responsible oversight to eliminate redundancies and to ensure that the many agencies that make up our government spend our tax dollars efficiently and responsibly.
  • Israel: Israel is America’s greatest ally in the Middle East and one of our greatest allies in the world. It is in America’s national interest to have a strong relationship with Israel and to support Israel’s right to defend herself. America should stand up to the United Nations and other countries that seek to pressure Israel into making deals that threaten her existence.
  • Security: The global stage is growing increasingly dangerous as radical terrorism spreads across the Middle East and the world. Iran is an unabashed sponsor of terrorism and is determined to build a nuclear weapon that will pose a threat to America, Israel, and the rest of the world. The administration’s Iran nuclear deal does nothing to thwart Iran's long-term nuclear ambitions and makes the Middle East – and the world – a more dangerous place.
  • Education: Too many children across the country remain trapped in failing schools. We need to enact innovative policies that give these children the skills they need to succeed. In addition, we need to better prepare them for the world that exists today by leveraging the technology they are already using in their personal lives. It is incumbent upon us to ensure we’ve prepared them with the basic skills of success.
