Campaign themes
2014
Kemmerer's campaign website highlighted the following issues:[1]
Government that Works for the People
- Excerpt: "I'm committed to fighting corruption at every turn and to passing landmark campaign finance reform, a bold idea that would radically level the playing field between working families and powerful corporate interests and be a critical step to restoring our democratic process."
Strengthen our Core
- Excerpt: "We need more than jobs, we need good, high paying jobs that will drive our economy now and into the future. Our greatness has long been measured in the greatness of our middle class, the greatest middle class in the history of the world. Strengthening middle class families strengthens our core. Strengthening our core means restoring the American Dream where hard work earns a better future for our children, our grandchildren, and New York can lead the way."
Invest in our Future
- Excerpt: "Higher education must be accessible to students of all income levels. We must oppose decreased funding and increased tuition at our public colleges and universities. Tuition assistance for low-income students should be protected and expanded; getting a high quality education should be an asset not a debt laden burden."
- Excerpt: "A highly educated and well-trained workforce is our greatest economic asset. Because of the great benefit our investments in education yield, we must make education among our highest priorities."
