Campaign themes
2016
Shoffner's campaign website highlighted the following issues:
| “ |
Education: NC should continue its investment in all levels of education; Early Childhood, K-12, Community College and our University System. The economy of the future is going to demand talented, educated and flexible human capital. No matter the career path someone chooses, NC needs to be able to meet people where they are and help them develop the skills that lead to employment. Economy: NC should continue reforms that make it easier to start or move a business to our state. That means removing burdensome regulations and continuing reforms in tax structure and investment. The employers of the future are the individual entrepreneurs of today. We need to continue to foster innovation and reward risk taking for start up businesses and their investors. Healthcare: Under a #1332 Waiver, NC can totally restructure the Affordable Care Act and create its own set of rules regarding the individual mandate, the employer mandate and subsidies offered on a NC based exchange. When complete, this six year transformation will result in a vastly more efficient purchasing structure, 100% transparency in pricing and reforms that strengthen the physician/patient relationship. NC currently spends $7 billion of our $22 billion dollar budget on healthcare. This new structure will save NC $2.1 billion in costs, monies that can be invested in our teachers pay, education in general and infrastructure. By reducing our healthcare costs across the board, private employers will benefit, making NC a destination for businesses of all sizes. Term Limits/Campaign Finance/VoterID: NC has seen its fair share of excellent public servants and many not so good. They were both products of our current system. The notion of "public service" is just that: you go, you serve, you come home. It was a common sense notion that our founders understood. Somewhere we lost that...I believe there is a need for term limits, more transparency in how money flows into and through elections and require an ID to Vote.[1] |
