Campaign themes

2016

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

  • Wages and Cost of Living: I will vote for policies that bring jobs back to the USA and up the minimum wage for all workers.
  • Education: I will push for legislation to provide all our children and grandchildren with first class educational opportunities that will make them leaders in a competitive world.
  • Consumer Rights: We need to prevent financial institutions and corporations from cheating Americans with their new "gotcha!" fees on bank accounts, credit cards, mortgages, auto loans, and consumer goods such as basic cell phone service.
  • Healthcare: Limiting what insurance companies keep, and capping maximum healthcare charges, would save money for American families and our small businesses.
  • Social Security and Medicare: The older Americans who helped build this country should not be sold out to Wall Street. Social Security should not be handed over to speculators or hedge funds, as some members of Congress have proposed.
