Campaign themes
2014
Savage's website highlighted the following campaign themes:[1]
High Desert First
- Excerpt: "The High Desert needs a representative that is willing to fight for it. I have spent my whole life here. I want a safe and prosperous community. I am not going to Sacramento with an agenda, I am going to Sacramento to fight for the proud people of the High Desert."
Business Ally
- Excerpt: "The growth of the High Desert economy depends on free enterprise. We need to ease the burden on our communities’ small businesses. We must lower the cost of starting and running a business. We must reduce regulation and promote industry. We need to foster an environment to bring back private businesses and promote job growth."
Protecting the Second Amendment
- Excerpt: "Our right to bear arms is under constant attack. In Sacramento I will not only fight to protect the Second Amendment from further assault, but work to restore those rights that have already been taken away from us."
Staunch Supporter of Law Enforcement
- Excerpt: "Security is one of the most fundamental purposes of government. Serious crimes warrant serious penalties. We need to protect those that protect us and support law enforcement and their families for the remarkable sacrifices they make every day. I was born and raised in a law enforcement family and I personally know the sacrifices made both those in uniform and the families that love them."
Education
- Excerpt: "Education is the key to America’s place at the top of the global community. I want to ensure that every child is provided an education for not only their bright futures, but the future of the American people."
