Campaign themes

2016

The following issues were listed on Stella's campaign website. For a full list of campaign themes, click here.

  • Health Care: The Affordable Care Act must be repealed and replaced with a health care system that provides quality coverage options with affordable premiums. Comprehensive reform of the Health Care delivery system is needed to provide care more efficiently and in a more economical manner. Medicaid is a third tier system that should be streamlined and or replaced.
  • Education: Education is one of the most important areas that need to be addressed. A well-educated society, in general, will help to decrease crime and violence. It will make the United States more competitive in the global marketplace. Soaring tuition fees is one of the obstacles that many Americans, wishing to obtain a degree from an institution of higher learning that is the most difficult to overcome. We must address the need to streamline the financial assistance programs we have in place as well as making sure that colleges and universities in this nation are being as fiscally responsible as possible with their budgets so as to not burden the students seeking enrollment with unjust costs.
  • Foreign Policy: America has always had an integral role in international affairs, as well as a reputation for unbiased and strong leadership. America has a proven track record of strong support to our allies and those relationships should continue to be honored and developed, especially with our Middle Eastern allies, such as Israel, as we continue to monitor and assist other nations with threats of terrorism. A strong national defense is vital to the security of America, domestically as well as to our interests and military personnel globally.
  • National Security and Criminal Justice: Border security is not just an illegal immigration concern, but also a national security issue. As a sovereign nation, our borders must be secure in order to prevent infiltration by those who seek to commit acts of terrorism and illegal drug trafficking. Our military should be considered as an option to help protect our country at the borders.
  • Taxes & Spending: The tax code must be simplified and applied justly across the population. Although the wealthy will always pay a higher share of taxes, the system must be just and encourage investment in the economy rather than simply siphoning money off to the government. In addition, the death tax should be repealed.
