Campaign themes

2013

Chastain explained his campaign themes in the Benton County voter pamphlet:[1]

"We must open minds even if that means reading words written by those we cannot agree with because we must show our children WHY we believe as we do rather than expecting them to parrot us without question. We should pay equal attention to the Arts, Ethics, Humanities, Languages, and Literature as we pay to regaining our passions and prominence in Mathematics and Sciences. We must both advocate for new methods of education AND continue to nurture the facilities and people we already have."
