Campaign themes
2014
McCabe's campaign website highlighted the following issues:[2]
Restore shared revenues
- Excerpt: "The majority of roads we travel daily are the responsibility of local municipalities. Their funds from the state government used to maintain roads and bridges have been cut by my opponent. The condition of our roads and bridges are deteriorating and becoming safety hazards. We need to restore appropriate funding levels."
Restore funding to public schools
- Excerpt: "Public education is the cornerstone of our society and the schools are the heart of most communities. Quality public education for all is critical to a healthy economy. We need to invest in tax dollars in this vital resource and stop diverting public tax dollars to private unaccountable schools."
Accept Medicaid dollars to insure more Wisconsin citizens
- Excerpt: "We could be providing healthcare coverage to more Wisconsin citizens for less money that we are spending now. However, my opponent wants to support his National Party’s position so our tax dollars are being sent to other states leavingover [sic] 70,000 Wisconsin citizens fend for themselves. We need to invest in the health of our citizens."
Equal pay for equal work
- Excerpt: "Everyone should be paid fairly for their work."
Trust
- Excerpt: "Reinstate the Assembly rules of not accepting campaign contributions during the budget process and propose expansion to all elected state officials."
