Campaign themes
2012
Kretzschmar's campaign website listed the following issues:[2]
- Diversification of Economy
- Excerpt: "Wyoming’s economy is heavily energy based with the extraction of oil, gas, and coal. ...Continued efforts to attract businesses such as computer data centers and research centers will help bring technology related jobs into the state, thereby reducing the effects of downturns in the energy economy."
- Department of Transportation
- Excerpt: "Long term planning is essential when managing large dollar projects in WYDOT. Currently there is a $135 Million/year budget shortfall and WYDOT is unable to plan beyond the “pavement preservation” mode because of lack of steady funding. It is time to make decisions on ways to generate a steady stream of funding … it is an investment in the future."
- Department of Health
- Excerpt: "The budget in the Department of Health has grown in ten years from $80 Million/year to over $560 Million/year. It is time to take a serious look as to where the dollars are being spent."
- Education
- Excerpt: "The pipeline of students into the workforce needs to be strong and sustainable. ...an increased emphasis on school programs in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) is needed."
