Campaign themes
2016
Moss' website highlighted the following campaign themes:[2]
The Pension Plan
- Excerpt: "The Kentucky Teacher Retirement System and the Kentucky Retirement System MUST be strengthened. We HAVE to start steering funds to these accounts. They are in terrible financial shape and MUST be addressed."
Early Childhood Development
- Excerpt: "We MUST protect our future by investing in education. Statistics show we get $7 of benefit for every $1 invested in early childhood development. While I support the Governor’s effort to curb spending in all areas of state government, education (early childhood, in particular) is so important that it needs preferential treatment."
Work Force Development
- Excerpt: "We MUST continue to support our community colleges, especially those programs that are preparing folks for skilled job opportunities. The Governor and others speak often of the importance of and need for Workforce Development. Our community and technical college system (KCTCS) is uniquely positioned to address this need."
Our Farmers
- Excerpt: "The number one issue facing our farmers today is not water quality, but water quantity. City water, when accessible, is too expensive for daily farm use. Our farmers need infrastructure and storage for adequate, affordable water supply year round."
The Drug Epidemic
- Excerpt: "Illegal drug use is an epidemic. Drug use and abuse is no respecter of persons. Heroin and meth are taking lives in Kentucky on a daily basis. We must continue to support the good fight that has begun in our courts and in our legislature to address this problem."
