Campaign themes
2016
Forbush's website highlighted the following campaign themes:[1]
Taxes
- Excerpt: "My oath to you is that I will not only oppose any new tax on Nevadans, I will fight to roll back those taxes approved by the last Legislature. I have signed the Taxpayers Protection Pledge and will be your voice in Carson City to stop another grab at your hard earned dollars."
Gun Rights
- Excerpt: "Make no mistake, there will be plenty of bills introduced by those who want to take away your right to keep and bear arms in the next session and I will be there to make sure those bills receive the defeat they deserve."
Education
- Excerpt: "It’s time we focus on the needs of our children and the needs of the thousands of great teachers in our school systems who want to be unshackled and teach children the skills they need to succeed in their lives. The best way to retain good teachers is let them soar and reward success over the stifling system of standardization now in place."
States Rights
- Excerpt: "Returning all land currently controlled by Federal agencies to the State is not going to happen overnight and in the case of land used by the military, will never be a complete transfer. The best solution is to fight for the transfer of land with the best economic development potential first while pushing for more State input on the management of land currently under Federal control."
