Campaign themes
2016
Caulfield's campaign website highlighted the following issues:
| “ |
Job Growth and innovation: People need jobs that pay well. When people are forced to work two and sometimes three jobs, their quality of life is diminished greatly and our families suffer. College students deserve better; when they graduate they should have a great job not a great big loan. Investment in our infrastructure - No to managed lanes (Tolls): Having worked within the commercial side of real estate, I know this is one of the first things a company looks at when thinking of re-locating; Easily accessible and well maintained ROADS, WATER/SEWER, AND UTILITIES. We have already paid taxes and they should cover necessities like roads. Our tax dollars should be used for general purpose lanes and for maintaining and widening our roads BEFORE we are at a critical state. I-77 is not just a highway for commuters; I-77 is Lake Norman's main north - south corridor that every day residents use to get from home to the doctor or to our local businesses. It is also the emergency evacuation route if anything were to happen at the nuclear power plant. The safety of our citizens must come first! Superior Education with equal access for all Children: We can and must do better! We must find places in the budget to cut so that we can increase teacher pay in order to retain caring and quality teachers. We have made positive strides over the last few years but we can do better. Let's reach across the aisle and find creative solutions; to end over crowding, bring our buildings up to higher standards, and have the resources and technology to give all children a first rate education. Let's do more with job training and trade schools for those not desiring to go on to traditional college. And if the goal is helping children get a first rate education, we should be allowing parents the choice of which school is best for them. Public Safety must be a top priority: We must value and support our military, veterans, and law enforcement officers. We live in a new world where the dangers are ever increasing and the challenges are evolving in unique ways. We must pay our law enforcement officers well so we can recruit and retain the best. We need to equip them with the most state of the art equipment in order to do their jobs, which is to keep us safe. We have failed our veterans. When a community has to do fundraising in order to provide a disabled veteran with the proper wheel chair, we should hold our head in shame. But then we must look up and take action. These men and women and their families have sacrificed so much for us. We as a nation must demand that our government / elected officials make them a TOP PRIORITY. Our reservists and national guard are pushed to unnatural limits and the suicide rates are at unprecedented levels. It's time to sit down and revamp this system to meed our modern day world. Term limits for elected officials to encourage citizen involvement: Whatever happened to mentoring? Is a politician that irreplaceable that they need to stay in power for 20 and sometimes 30 years and beyond? We need to revamp our system so that people from all walks of life and income levels can participate in this process.[1] |
