Campaign themes
Berg's website highlighted the following campaign themes:[1]
Jobs
- Excerpt: "Rather than focus on narrow, trickle-down economic policies that have failed us in the past, Chuck is focused on a broad economic agenda - one that helps Minnesotan businesses grow and retain jobs while investing in education and job retraining so Minnesotans can secure good paying jobs in high demand fields."
Education
- Excerpt: "We need to invest in our world-class education system - at every level - in order to prepare Minnesota students to become leaders in our ever-changing and competitive global economy."
Healthcare
- Excerpt: "Minnesota needs to lead, not follow on health care. Guided by our bipartisan successes in the past, we should emphasize prevention and outcome-based solutions that control the cost of health care for all Minnesotans."
Fair Taxes
- Excerpt: "We need to make our tax system fairer and simpler for middle class families - and most of all, ensure rich corporations and special interests are playing by the same rules as Minnesota families."
Responsible Budgets
- Excerpt: "It's time to put an end to one-time borrowing and other budget gimmicks that simply shift the burden to future generations of Minnesotans."
