Campaign themes

2014

Foster's website highlighted the following campaign themes:[1]

Bringing Jobs to the District (Recruiting New Industry)

  • Excerpt: "As a member of the Jefferson County delegation, I will fight to give city councilmen and councilwomen resources to do their jobs in a way that will encourage job growth. There is so much untapped potential and opportunity in our community. It is my vision for you to be able to work, play and live in District 56!"

Supporting Small Businesses (Expanding Existing Industries)

  • Excerpt: "I am committed to supporting the health and well being of existing businesses. Business growth takes on many forms and existing industries play an important role in that growth. I also understand that many new jobs are created by the businesses already located here in Jefferson County and throughout the State of Alabama. It is my desire to support policies and efforts that will improve the overall business climate and opportunities for growth."

Increasing Parental Involvement in Education

  • Excerpt: "I believe that not only do parents know best for their children, but that school systems with a higher level of parental involvement perform better. Families should be empowered to make a difference within their school system. Education is about preparing students for a productive life. Parents should be able to choose a school based on their child’s needs, not their zip code."

Working Toward Prison Sentencing Reform

  • Excerpt: "Some inmates are first-time non-violent offenders. I advocate beginning a program that would allow the best behaved of these non-violent offenders to serve their sentences with community service and, when appropriate, drug rehabilitation."
