Campaign themes
2012
Hooper's campaign website listed the following issues:[1]
- Education
- Excerpt: "Nevada County is blessed with an abundance of quality public charter schools. I’ve seen what a good job they can do with limited funds because the teachers, principals, and parents are motivated."
- California and Schools
- Excerpt: "The California state government makes life difficult for public schools, promising a certain amount of money per child, then threatening to change that amount during the school year, and then finally not paying that money until months and months later."
- Bailouts
- Excerpt: "Government bailouts are corporate welfare and lead to crony capitalism. The economic system can’t allow some people to make money without also letting other people lose money."
- Immigration
- Excerpt: "Fortified borders with armed border guards will only keep out the good immigrants, while the bad ones will always get in."
- Regulations
- Excerpt: "Of course there are some good regulations. However, California has long been among America's most extensive taxers and regulators of business."
