Campaign themes
2014
Walker's campaign website highlighted the following issues:[1]
Education
- Excerpt: "My first priority in the legislature will be our schools. Education is a majority of our budget, and I would agree with most taxpayers that our money should be spent more wisely. This money should go directly to the classroom (the kids) and the teachers and not stop at Administration first. We need more parental control over curriculum and more classes providing skills, your children and mine will need to use in the job market."
Economy
- Excerpt: "We need to reduce and streamline regulations affecting small businesses so they can create jobs and boost the economy."
