Campaign themes
2014
Vore's website highlighted the following campaign themes:[2]
Veterans
- Excerpt: "It is of vital importance that our State protects those who fight for our freedoms. This protection includes ensuring that returning veterans receive, in a timely manner, the benefits they earned through the sacrifices they made: anything else is unacceptable."
Energy independence
- Excerpt: "I am in support of all forms of energy that originate in this state such that the state strives to become energy independent while remaining competitive in the global market."
The Great Lakes
- Excerpt: "As stewards of one-fifth of the world’s fresh surface water, and an estimated 7 billion dollars in economic value, we have a heavy responsibility to protect this irreplaceable resource. "
Agriculture
- Excerpt: "Without a thriving agricultural community we do not eat. The State’s role in Agriculture should be limited to reasonable food safety inspections, plant and animal inspections, and overall limited in the oversight of the agricultural community."
Pro-Second Amendment
- Excerpt: "It is essential to our fundamental rights to protect our persons and property. The founders of our nation understood this fact. Our State must enact legislation that enforces this basic human right, endorses a clear definition of our Second Amendment Rights, and protects us from future federal limitations on the same."
