2014
Calhoun's campaign website highlighted the following issues:[8]
Education
- Less high-stakes testing
- More focus on social-emotional development
- Local control of standards and curriculum
Basic Constitutional Rights
- Anti (un)safe-act, instead make people safer by dealing with mental health issues, and actually protecting our children.
- No Red-Light Cameras
Equal Opportunity for Businesses
- Excerpt: "Corporate welfare is hurting working-class families and small businesses. We are left shouldering the burden and it isn't fair. New York should seek to create an environment where businesses are not granted special privileges and advantages by the State, and where every business has the opportunity to succeed."
