Campaign themes
2016
Blakey's campaign website highlighted the following issues:[1]
Education
- Excerpt: "Helping those attending secondary education institutions to not graduate with crippling debt is big in Bob's mind, because every Idahoan should be able to pursue higher education if they choose."
Economy
- Excerpt: "Bob will advocate for economic growth by growing jobs locally in both Lewis and Nez Perce Counties. Bob who has served admirably on the Urban Renewal Agency board during his tenure on the Lewiston City Council has always been a proponent of economic development."
Healthcare
- Excerpt: "Bob will fight to close the Medicaid Gap and keep our friends, families and loved ones alive and healthy for many years to come. Bob's opponent has voted against closing the Medicaid Gap and by doing so has also cost Idaho taxpayers millions of dollars and hundreds of lives."
Public lands
- Excerpt: "Idahoans choose to live here because of the availability for recreation opportunities. If our public lands are sold off and not kept public those opportunities will be taken away from us."
