Campaign themes
2016
Tilley's campaign website highlighted the following issues:
| “ |
As I ask for your support I feel I must be true to myself and the people of the district in what I believe. If it is not right with God first, it will not be right with me. As a Christian I will demonstrate respect, kindness and love to everyone. I will adhere to my Christian principles regardless of the subject. I will stand up for traditional marriage. I would advocate for Christian prayer within our public schools. I will promote our heavenly father wherever and whenever possible while trying to be a true public servant. Yes, while imperfect, this does not mean that we, ‘all of us’, should neglect in offering Christian values, principles and good stewardship in our daily lives. Otherwise, our nation will continue to fall deeper into darkness.[1] |
