Campaign themes
2012
Albracht's campaign website listed the following issues:[2]
- Jacobs vs. McCarter
- Excerpt: "Senator Mike Jacobs’ purported assault on Senator Kyle McCarter on the Illinois Senate floor has now become a national as well as international embarrassment for our state."
- Drug Testing for Welfare
- Excerpt: "Welfare, charity, a helping hand, call it what you will, but it is what we do for each other when someone is in need and requires a “hand-up”. It should never be more than a temporary fix."
- 5 Point Plan for Rebuilding Illinois
- Excerpt: "Since it was open to anyone, I prepared a 5 point position/policy paper to address a limited number of issues that would directly affect the voters of the 36th Senate District."
- Thompson Prison –Time to Think Outside the Box
- Excerpt: "It is time to think outside the box! It is time to put people to work! It is time to make Thompson Prison operational!"
- Concealed Carry – We Need It Now
- Excerpt: "The law abiding citizens of Illinois want the same right as the citizens of the other forty-nine states in the Union. And that right is to have the option to carry a concealed firearm for protection of themselves and their families."
- Voting – A Right As Well As A Responsibility
- Excerpt: "One of pillars that is part of the bed rock on which our country was built is one citizen – one vote. It is a right that has been earned for every citizen by the blood of those who have fought to defend and preserve this right."
- Pro-Life: It Is Where I Stand; It Is What I Believe
- Excerpt: "I am resolute in my position of PRO-LIFE. I firmly and absolutely believe that life does not begin at conception, it continues. I believe that God created life one time and procreation is part of the continuing process of life."
