Campaign themes

2016

Lamont's campaign website highlighted the following issues:

“
  • As a fiscal conservative, Jacob will fight to lower unnecessary and overly complicated tax policies and stifling over regulation that he sees inhibiting small business development throughout the county and state.
  • Jacob, being a family man, is concerned by an education system that continuously tries to force every individual onto a cookie cutter path. Lamont knows that every person is an individual with different needs, talents and passions and that is why he intends to introduce exciting reforms to Washington’s education system. By allowing an Apprenticeship Graduation program Lamont knows that we can develop a future where individuals can choose the paths to success that best meet their needs and talents.
  • Jacob is increasingly more concerned about a welfare system that does not provide clear and easy exit strategies. He sees a system which penalizes families trying to empower themselves and free themselves from the welfare system. Jacob has talked with many of his community members who have expressed a feeling of helplessness and inability to extract themselves. That is why, if elected, he will work to initiate a comprehensive overhaul of the state welfare programs to include allowing welfare benefits to extend for a small amount of time after the recipient has found employment. Jacob wants to allow a buffer for families to gain stability in their new lives and mitigate against having to return to dependence on the government. Lamont says that people need a hand up and not a hand out, being best served when freed of their dependence on government to thrive as active participants in it and in their community.
  • Jacob is passionate about individual liberty and rights and believes that government is most legitimate when it shields individual rights from political and corporate privilege. That is why, if elected, he will immediately introduce the Mono Bill Act and the Read the Bill Act, both of which will impose transparency and accountability on the lawmakers in Olympia. Jacob also promises to lead by example by recording and making available to the public all meetings, correspondence and requests that take place within his elected office.[1]
