Personal website

Debra Betz was a 2012 Republican candidate for Twelfth Plymouth District of the Massachusetts House of Representatives.

Campaign themes

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

Constituent service

  • Excerpt: "I will be a full time Legislator representing the people of my district. It will be my priority to respond effectively to all inquiries and constituent concerns in a timely and efficient manner."

Jobs

  • Excerpt: "I will fight for fair and equitable tax policies to encourage economic growth and expansion."

Education

  • Excerpt: "Education is a top priority. Special Education costs are out of control and hurting school districts. Even the Legislature acknowledges this dilemma as they try to remedy the situation by having circuit breaker reimbursements."

Taxes

  • Excerpt: "I am against raising or creating any new taxes."

Reform

  • Excerpt: "Having a two party system of checks and balances could deter corruption. I will fight for fiscal responsibility by reviewing all government programs for efficiency."
