Campaign themes
Byrne's website highlighted the following campaign themes:[1]
Education
- Excerpt: "We need a more cooperative atmosphere with business in education. Businesses are far better off when they have a highly trained workforce. The community college system should partner in more ways with industries and new companies to foster technical training that would benefit both."
Jobs & The Economy
- Excerpt: "We need to encourage other highly technical and advanced industries to come here. Being in the middle of the U.S. is an excellent starting place for new transportation industries such as light and high speed rail and green energy manufacturing plants to locate to Platte County."
