Brad Toft was a 2012 Republican candidate for District 5 of the Washington State Senate.
Campaign themes
Toft's website highlighted the following campaign themes:[1]
Economy
- Excerpt: "Our first priority is to restore our economic health. The Washington legislature, however, clings to obsolete ideas about labor and growth. State government has failed to progress alongside our innovative private sector, thereby guaranteeing a sick economy."
Government Reform
- Excerpt: "Leaders need to re-examine Washington’s constitution to set a new direction. They must also heed the clear message of voters to stop relying on tax increases as a way to fix budget shortfalls."
Education
- Excerpt: "We must resist blaming the failures of public education on teachers, inadequate resources or a child’s inability to learn. Instead we need to realize that the root of underachievement lies with the education system’s bureaucracies."
