Campaign themes
2014
Brooks' campaign website highlighted the following issues:[1]
On The Economy
- Excerpt: "Economic growth is of paramount importance to the State of Nevada. The perilous nature of our economy, which depends heavily on the inflow of individuals via McCarran International Airport and Interstate 15, is no way to live. By facilitating economic diversity through education, incentives and tax reform we can secure the long term future of Nevada."
On Education
- Excerpt: "Education is the keystone from which so many benefits can be derived. In Nevada, however, we’ve let our children spoil on the vine for far too long. By ensuring that teachers have adequate resources to do their job, and are appropriately supported by the rest of the government of the State of Nevada, we can lift the quality of education from the national doldrums. Furthermore, by giving special attention to English Language Learner education, we can make substantial quantitative gains."
On Water
- Excerpt: "Water is essential to the economic health of Nevada, and yet for far too long its availability has been taken for granted. Should I be elected, I intend to make it a focus of the legislative session, promoting both conservation and procurement measures that will ensure our desert bloom continues for years to come."
