Campaign themes
2016
Boylston's website highlighted the following campaign themes:[2]
Improving Our Schools
- Excerpt: "I thrived in the Beaverton public school system and our schools today have the potential to inspire the best in all children. To get there, many more of our children must graduate from High School. We must make sure our kids are properly prepared for the high paying jobs with Oregon companies, currently being filled from out of state."
Creating Jobs and Growing the Middle-Class
- Excerpt: "We must look at old issues in new ways and offer modern solutions. Oregonians are among the most innovative, creative, thoughtful, and hardworking people. Yet, there is a perception that Oregon’s government has a distaste for the free market and job creation. This must be changed."
Helping Seniors and Addressing Elder Abuse
- Excerpt: "With an aging but still active population Oregon must offer independence, safety and security to our seniors. Too often, elderly Oregonians are taken advantage of by family members, caregivers, and in some instances, the professionals who should be looking out for them. Oregon has a good law prohibiting financial elder abuse, but the State falls woefully short in investigating elder abuse claims and enforcing this law."
