Arp's campaign website highlighted the following issues:
| “ |
Fighting for Conservative Values – The Obama administration continues to trample on the conservative values that made our country great. In the legislature, I’ll fight to stop Obama’s policies from destroying our way of life in North Carolina, and I’ll advocate for life, religious freedom, and our traditional conservative values. Strengthening the economy – We need outside-the-box thinking that unleashes our private sector to create better quality and higher-paying jobs. We must make North Carolina more innovative and competitive in the global economy through business-friendly policies and a smaller, smarter state government. Improving education – We must reward our administrators and teachers for exceptional academic achievement, prepare our students for entry into North Carolina’s competitive workforce, and create more choices and opportunities for students and families. Our future depends on a well-trained workforce. Supporting our military – I will work to make North Carolina the most military-friendly state in the nation. We are a stronger state and city thanks to these patriots and heroes who live among us. We need to ensure infrastructure is in place to support our installations and military families, and to help our veterans transition to civilian life and stay in North Carolina.[9] |
