Campaign themes
2014
Kubiske's website highlighted the following campaign themes:[2]
Roads
- Excerpt: "The number one issue on people's minds is the repair and maintenance of roads. It is my intention to work with the legislature to develop defined methods of consistent revenue streams to maintain and upgrade roads in Monroe County. I intend to review existing processes and suggest methods of transferring revenue for the sole purpose of road maintenance, repair, and replacement without increasing taxes."
Jobs
- Excerpt: "Job creation is on everyone's mind. My intent is to continue to stimulate job growth within the small business community and assist larger businesses in re-investing in local area development to expand manufacturing and processing facilities, thus creating more jobs. Rehabilitate old buildings for use by new or existing companies. I want to see a re-education of the workforce to keep up with new technology and higher paying jobs."
Health Care
- Excerpt: "Work with the local medical community to increase and maintain a high level of care for Monroe County residents. Bring to Monroe procedures and services not available to avoid having to send residents to outside providers. Assist in the simplification of program options."
2nd Amendment Rights
- Excerpt: "As a member of the NRA, I am a advocate of our 2nd Amendment rights."
Education
- Excerpt: "I hope to assist the Legislature in establishing sound scholastic standards that can be used as a guide for all Michigan school districts to adapt to their local demographic."
