Campaign themes
2014
Nottingham's website highlighted the following campaign themes:[2]
Michigan’s Marriage Amendment
- Excerpt: "I stand on the foundation upon which the constitution was laid. It clearly defines marriage as being between a man and a woman."
Roads
- Excerpt: "I know state roads get more traffic from semi-trailers, but I do not believe that should constitute such a disparity in how the funds have been divided. I have only done a rudimentary study on the subject, but my opinion is that the percentages need to be changed to be more in line with the amount of mileage that each unit is responsible for."
The right to bear arms
- Excerpt: "I don’t believe that the framers of those words only meant to allow for simple weapons ( muzzle loaders ), but equivalent weapons to be a formidable foe to anyone that would pose a threat to their family, property or community."
Education & the Common Core
- Excerpt: "I would like to see Common Core repealed in Michigan."
Michigan Fair Tax
- Excerpt: "During the HCRW Forum, someone asked what our position was on the proposal for the Fair Tax. That evening I was unprepared to answer the question. Based on some research since then, I believe it is worth considering for our state."
