Campaign themes
2014
Ross' website highlighted the following campaign themes:[1]
Education
- Excerpt: "I firmly believe that we must invest in education that supports STEM, arts and music, and critical-thinking skills to ensure that our youth are competitive in the current digital economy."
Economic Development
- Excerpt: "Investment incentives should be developed a way that does not sacrifice Alaska’s fair share of this publicly-owned resource."
Pebble Mine
- Excerpt: "I am against the Pebble Mine. While I believe that mining plays a vital role in our economy (my brother in-law works in the mining industry and has done projects at Red Dog), the proposed Pebble Mine is too risky and does not provide enough returns for Alaskans."
