Campaign themes
2014
Creedon's campaign website highlighted the following issues:[1]
Economic Diversification and Job Opportunities
- Excerpt: "We need economic development policies that create Nevada jobs first. Rather than giving handouts to out of state corporations, we must strategically reinvest these resources in Nevada-based small businesses and businesses of the future, such as technology, manufacturing, medical research and renewable energy. We must further ensure our children attain the skills necessary to compete in the modern economy."
Ensuring Equity in Education
- Excerpt: "Our kids deserve better than being ranked least likely to succeed. We need strategic investments in smaller class sizes, early childhood development, and workforce development. We need to empower our local schools with the tools to address their student’s individual needs, including addressing poverty, providing wraparound services, language learning and a dynamic funding formula that reflects the true cost of teaching our students."
Expanding Access to Healthcare
- Excerpt: "Our community suffers from rising costs and lack of a transparent marketplace, a chronic shortage of doctors and nurses, and a non-enforcement of regulations which overburdens the public hospital in our district. It’s time to stop criminalizing mental health, and start treating it. We must ensure that we fulfill these needs, tighten regulations, and bring our community to the forefront of the medical industry by building a medical school in Southern Nevada and ensuring better transparency and awareness of vital services."
Efficiency in Government
- Excerpt: "We need a government that works for us. Our current system is designed to promote deadlock and short-term band-aids, cater to special interests, and no longer represents our current state or efficiently addresses the needs of our community. We must reform the structure so that our representatives can be more effective, proactive and responsive, and empower institutions closest to the community with the ability to fill in the gaps while ensuring responsible and accountable use of our tax dollars."
