Heidi Huber was a 2016 Republican candidate for District 27 of the Ohio House of Representatives.[1]

Campaign themes

2016

Huber's campaign website highlighted the following issues:

Big Government & Spending: As a conservative, I find this growing role of government at the center of the problems we face. If elected, I promise to approach all policy through the oath of office - protect life, liberty and property - and with the belief that as government expands, liberty decreases.

Common Core & Education:

  • Common Core is the capstone of a decades long “education reform” agenda, whose goal is to globalize and corporatize the American classroom. We are witnessing the end of a knowledge and academic content education for the efficiency and profits of a data driven, workforce development system. I believe it is our responsibility to stop this destruction and restore education to its statutorily defined and protected local control status.
  • Parents are a child’s first educator and are the only people suited to determine their child’s best interest. Any politician or bureaucrat who doesn’t honor a parent’s first and final authority over their child’s education cannot be trusted to protect against the overreach of government in any realm of public policy.

Medicaid Expansion > Universal Healthcare:

  • Medicaid expansion is clearly the tool to expand the unconstitutional program known as Obamacare and create a one-payer system by expanding the use and dependency upon a government controlled healthcare system.
  • Principled Republicans don't nationalize and expand government programs. It violates the fundamental tenet of the Party...the People know best how to run their lives.

10th Amendment & State Sovereignty: We must end the current Federal program seeding that is done via the Executive and Agency grant application path. The legislature, as elected representatives, should be the body reviewing and evaluating Federal grants, not the limited Controlling Board. A long term cost analysis and a public review process should be mandatory in order to prevent Ohio taxpayers from being burdened with maintaining these pet programs when the grant expires, analogous to receiving the gift of a baby elephant.

Workplace Freedom...essential for a free people: No one should be forced or coerced into an union driven system, irrespective of whether they align with the organization or not. Those who do choose to belong should be required to pay their dues directly to the union organization. Those who argue otherwise are not being intellectually honest or consistent.[2]
