Campaign themes
2014
Alley's website highlighted the following campaign themes:[4]
Preserving A Strong Texas Economy
- Excerpt: "We must ensure tight controls on government spending and oppose liberal efforts to take Texas down a California-style path of overregulation, high taxes, and eventual bankruptcy."
Fighting ObamaCare
- Excerpt: "Texas should have a healthcare system that is the envy of the country. With excellent hospitals and first-rate research centers, we have an amazing cache of healthcare providers."
Promoting Jobs
- Excerpt: "We need to work hard to reduce excessive regulations to keep our state number one in business innovation and job creation. Wherever possible, government just needs to get out of the way of the private sector."
Taxes and Spending
- Excerpt: "As a conservative, I believe government spends too much and wastes too much. We need to continue to lower the tax burden by demanding more efficiency in government and more accountability for how they’re spending our tax dollars."
Education
- Excerpt: "Texas should have the best education system in the country. We need to insist on local control so that children, parents, and administrators can work together to provide the best education possible for each and every student."
