Campaign themes
2013
In an interview with the Greeley Tribune, Haefeli stated that his primary concerns were reversing recent declines in student enrollment and equalizing the quality of education for all students. He added that, "We need to do a little better job of communicating. Everyone needs to work together and be better at listening to each other. We need to be more positive. I see too much negativity from all directions. If everybody works together for our children, then we will be successful as a society."[1]
