Campaign themes
2014
Mobley's campaign website highlighted the following issues:[2]
Taxes
- Excerpt: "The tax system in our state is in need of reform. Rates are too high, while there are too many exemptions and deductions. This makes our state uncompetitive. There are many reforms that could improve the situation, and I am willing to consider any reasonable reform proposal, but the general idea is to broaden the tax base by getting rid of exemptions, deductions, and credits that apply to special groups or activities. Broadening the tax base will allow rates to come down for everybody."
Jobs
- Excerpt: "South Carolina has a lot to offer when it comes to attracting businesses. Our state’s natural beauty, mild climate, geographic location, and status as a right-to-work state make it an ideal place to do business. And we can do even better. By reforming the tax system and rolling back excessive regulation, South Carolina can be not only a desirable destination for established businesses looking to expand, but also a fertile environment where home-grown businesses, large and small, can sprout and thrive."
Education
- Excerpt: "Families in our state deserve more choices in education, whether they choose to send their kids to public school, send them to private school, or educate them in the home. Teachers and principals in our state deserve flexibility to go along with accountability, so that innovation is not stifled by oppressive standards like Common Core."
Federal Overreach
- Excerpt: "As a member of the House, it would be my goal to publicize the conditions, requirements, and restrictions associated with federal dollars, so that the people of our state are aware of the trade-offs involved in each decision to accept federal funding."
The Structure of Government
- Excerpt: "As a member of the House, I would support reforms that aim to confine each branch of government to its proper role, and that serve to keep the power of those roles in proper balance, so that no single branch dominates."
