Campaign themes
2014
Zygadlo's campaign website highlighted the following issues:[1]
Economy
- Excerpt: "We must focus on our strengths of location, consistent climate, and a low tax burden to lure companies to our great state. Our economy is driven by small business and we must do everthing [sic] to make the climate for small businesses helpful and responsive."
Education
- Excerpt: "The key to a lasting economy is a real dedication towards education. As we attract more innovative companies, we will need to provide a better educated work force. I support smaller class sizes, greater access to pre-K, and increased help for non-English speaking students struggling to catch up."
Equality
- Excerpt: "As a strong believer of freedom and liberty, all Nevadans deserve the same opportunities, respect, and rights regardless of their gender, disabilities, orientation, or race."
