Campaign themes
2014
Fulghum's website highlighted the following campaign themes:[1]
Labor
- Excerpt: "The traditional American family of generations past has been disappearing. Many of today’s children grown up with both of their parents in the work force or in a single parent home. Our legislation should be adjusted to focus on the needs of our modern families."
Education
- Excerpt: "Since the recent economic recession many state budgets (including NC) have made significant cuts to spending on public and higher education. This has resulted in higher student-to-teacher ratios, fewer educational resources and books, less available funding for teacher assistants and school nurses, and steadily higher costs of college tuition. I aim to increase funding for public schools and higher education and also protect our school systems from any voucher programs that would further divert their funding."
Environment
- Excerpt: "Hydraulic fracturing is a process for extracting natural gas from shale deposits underground. The process involves forcing large quantities of pressurized water and chemicals into these shale deposits to open fissures that enable the trapped gas to be drawn. The risk of contamination to the water supply of millions with toxic, flammable or even radioactive chemicals is not worth any increase to our industry. I aim to block fracking from this state."
