Campaign themes
2014
Toomer's website highlighted the following campaign themes:
- Ethics & Integrity
- Excerpt: “I will work to prohibit unlimited corporate donations to political candidates and end the revolving door of lobbyist contracts. We send people to the Statehouse to make government accountable to the people. When elected leaders violate that trust, it’s time to make a change.”
- Term Limits
- Excerpt: “When you make public service a career as an elected representative, it goes against the grain of how our government in America was founded and intended. I promise to represent you in Montgomery for no more than two terms in the House of Representatives. Entrenched incumbents stymie the introduction of fresh ideas.”
- Public Education
- Excerpt: “I opposed the recent property tax proposal because it targeted hard-working business owners. We need to put local dollars in our schools, not send them to Montgomery to fund private schools. I oppose Mike Hubbard’s Robin Hood education plan and will vote to stop it.”
- Common Core
- Excerpt: “If you like Obamacare, you will love Common Core. It’s just one more attempt by the President to influence the curriculum in our schools and reverse proven methods of classroom instruction. While Mike Hubbard supports common core, I will aggressively work to repeal it.”
