Campaign themes

2016

Townsend's campaign website highlighted the following issues:[2]

“
  • Quality jobs: Having helped to develop the “Work Ready” program in Webster County, I believe we need to invest further in work force development programs.
  • Improving our infrastructure: As Webster County Judge/Executive, we always balanced our budget and always included funding for road projects. If elected in November, I will fight to do the same as your State Representative.
  • Public education: I will fight to empower our teachers and support our children and grandchildren in the classroom.[3]
