Walter's campaign website highlighted the following issues:

Water While conservation should continue to be a first consideration, in the future these measures alone won’t be enough to provide for all the recreational, landscape, business and agricultural needs of our growing and prosperous state. We now face decisions as to how we will prepare for our children and future generations while preserving our precious environment. I believe a sensible solution includes not only education and conservation, but looking at a future storage site as well. Education I am in favor of returning control of education to local school districts, parents, and teachers. Common Core may sound like a good program, but children are not all equal. The Federal government does not work with your child on a personal level. You and your child’s teacher know best what your child needs. I will work to eliminate Common Core and restore local control in order to serve best your children’s educational future. I will also support on-going efforts to offer choice in the education system through charter schools and other similar programs. Transportation Safe, reliable transportation is essential for our economy and our busy lifestyles. We need to ensure that people and goods can be moved efficiently and cost-effectively without adversely affecting our environment. When traffic is stalled on our highways, the accident rate rises and more air pollution is generated as engines idle rather than running at efficient speeds. Health Care I will work to create a system where people have more options and control over their health care. My goal is to generate the free market purchase of insurance, including across state lines. I do not believe government should dictate to insurance companies who and what they cover. For instance, if a person is willing to buy insurance to cover a non-family member, a free market would provide it. I advocate self insuring and health savings accounts which can be transferred to your children. Fracking Low cost energy fuels our economy and maintains our quality of life. Oil and gas extraction have safely fueled our economy for decades. Fears of potential mishaps should not prompt a knee-jerk reaction that would cripple our economy by banning extraction and delivery of oil and gas from Colorado. Let’s wisely enforce our current, strict regulations and explore whether additional safeguards are needed. In the meantime, let’s not threaten to shut down current operations, driving business and vital dollars to other states.[9] |
