Campaign themes
2014
Scherrer's campaign website highlighted the following issues:[1]
Jobs
- Excerpt: "I will work to improve Washington State’s Business Friendly rating. I will work to reduce regulation on small and large businesses to help spur economic growth. Everyone wins when our economy is vibrant and thriving."
Responsible Government
- Excerpt: "Our state Government doesn’t seem to listen to the people who vote. When the voters supported a 2/3 vote requirement to raise taxes, our legislature overturned it. I will listen to the voters and the people of the 21st Legislative District and of the State of Washington."
Better Education
- Excerpt: "I will support our teachers and work to make their job more “classroom” oriented rather than administrative oriented. I will work to find waste within our education system. I will work to invest in our education more wisely, that is, put our money more toward classroom instruction and less in administration."
