Campaign themes
2016
Stromberg's website highlighted the following campaign themes:[5]
Legislative oversight of Medicaid transition.
- Excerpt: "Oversight is a necessity to ensure our people are protected and private insurers do not profit from denying rightful claims."
Increased State Supplemental Aid for our school districts.
- Excerpt: "Legislators also need to pass needed aid in a timely manner so our school districts have adequate time to prepare their budgets."
Continued expansion of public investment in green energy.
- Excerpt: "Iowa leads the country in reliance on wind energy which accounts for 30% of our electricity consumption. We must continue to lead until 50% and more of our energy comes from green energy sources."
Index the Minimum Wage.
- Excerpt: "Automatic increases tied to inflation would be better for our families and better for our business leaders as they are able to plan on regular, reliable change."
Relax barriers to access for Medicinal Cannabis.
- Excerpt: "Legislation as it currently exists makes medicinal cannabis legal but impossible to get as there are no dispensaries in Iowa. There needs to be an affordable, legal way to help those with painful conditions where cannabis oil and other cannabis derivatives are the best therapeutic options."
