Campaign themes
2016
Terhune's website highlighted the following campaign themes:[1]
Taxes
- Excerpt: "Taxes are too high, and small businesses are unfairly bearing the burden of taxes and fees. I have seen small business at the family ownership level, and I know that all the taxes, fees, licenses, and regulations add up and make a huge difference in the bottom line."
Education
- Excerpt: "Control of education needs to be where it belongs- in the hands of the families and school boards around the state. The government should not be dictating spending, curriculum, or standards to teachers or schools."
The Second Amendment
- Excerpt: "The second amendment states that the citizen's right to keep and bear arms should not be infringed. I unequivocally support the Campus Carry and any legislation that restores and supports the Second Amendment."
Health Care
- Excerpt: "The government should not be in the business of health care. Patients and doctors should be making decisions that are about the best treatment for the patient's needs."
