Campaign themes

2016

Welcher's campaign website highlighted the following issues:[1]

Education

  • Excerpt: "It’s time to put the focus and investment back into what helps make our communities strong and vibrant for everyone – our local public school. Just as we take care of our heart, so must we take care of the heart of our community."

Health care

  • Excerpt: "Regardless of what you think about the Affordable Care Act, the truth is it’s a step closer to solving the problem. However it’s not even close to being enough."

The people's government

  • Excerpt: "Our forefathers, and mothers, gave us one of the most precious gifts ever bestowed: Democracy. During the time of the revolution, a government run by the people, representing the people, was hardly imaginable. This was, after all, a time of kings and czars."
