Campaign themes

2014

Kiszely's campaign website highlighted the following issues:[2]

Economy

  • Excerpt: "Small businesses are a major job creator, so we need to lower our tax rates and streamline regulations. I believe that as we reduce the burden that government has placed on businesses, our state and society will be strengthened. I also support loans that will help small businesses make it through the tough times."

Education

  • Excerpt: "What doesn’t make sense is when our elected officials lose sight of the big picture in order to brag about some budget cuts. Look, it’s not rocket science: if we invest more in early childhood education, we get more high school graduates 12 years later. Our economic future depends upon a well educated workforce. If our children are expected to compete in the 21st century global economy, we must continue to strengthen our schools by upgrading classroom technology and providing adequate funding at all levels. North Carolina is known across the country for our outstanding community colleges and universities, but we are neglecting our children by failing to invest in a quality K-12 education system."

Environment

  • Excerpt: "The career politicians in Raleigh must stop turning a blind eye because of lobbyists and corporate contributors, and start looking out for the Earth’s future. Fresh air and clean water are, quite possibly, the most important aspects of our legacy that we can leave to the next generation."

Voter rights

  • Excerpt: "If I have the honor of being elected, I will fight to protect the fundamental constitutional voting rights of every American."

Civil rights

  • Excerpt: "As a fierce advocate for equality, peace, and justice for all, I will fight to end discrimination in North Carolina–be it on the basis of race, gender, ethnicity or national origin, language, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, age, or disability."
