Campaign themes
2012
In information submitted to Ballotpedia, Arnold stated:
"My primary goal is a nonpartisan one: to reform the way that people are elected to public office in the United States. I'd like to concentrate on measures designed to close the revolving door between Congress and the world of lobbying Congress. I'd like to see reform directed at eliminating money from the campaign process: for example, by providing a robust public campaign financing alternative for candidates to the U.S. House and Senate. As an intermediary step along the route to reform, I would support measures to impose term limits on members of Congress through calling for Constitutional amendments to that effect."[5]
