Campaign themes
2012
Wildt's campaign website listed the following issues:[1]
- Jobs: A True Perspective
- Excerpt: "he current administration would have you believe that unemployment is at 8.4% and getting better. Wrong! That only counts the people who are actively receiving unemployment, not those who have run out of that safety net. There are even more unemployed who have simply given up looking for a job until things hopefully get better. "
- “Excessive” Spending by government
- Excerpt: "When our unemployed and under employed neighbors become fully employed and our state receives the increased tax revenue that will significantly contribute to the States income base."
- Regulations on Business
- Excerpt: "While certain basic rules and regulations will always be needed, do we really need several hundred pages simply to regulate a cupcake truck or craft store? What you are doing is insuring that almost anyone who wants to start a business needs to get an attorney, to make sure that they can comply with all of the laws and regulations. This country was founded by individuals who had a vision and hope for a better life. "
- Utter nonsense bills
- Excerpt: "This year a bill was introduced by Ms. Labuda to set up a registry of those who have been convicted of animal abuse, much like sex offenders. My wife and I love our two puppy children, Jack and Charlie as well as our African Gray Parrot Winston, but we watch out for them"
- Taxes
- Excerpt: "If tax rates are lowered for everyone, individuals as well as business, we will attract more jobs and businesses. This is truly a case where less, taxes, means more, revenue, and we can again focus on programs for education, seniors, and the underserved."
