Campaign themes
2014
Hayhoe's website highlighted the following campaign themes:
| “ | Roads
Having spent 43 years running an asphalt company, I know something about fixing roads for the long term. We need long-term repairs to our roads, bridges and highways. I am tired of seeing the same roads paved over every couple of years. It is time we elect someone to the House that knows what it takes to fix our roads. Jobs Having been a small business owner for 33 years, I understand what it takes to provide jobs and keep people employed. We need more people who know how to meet a payroll and live within a budget at the State Capitol. Education My wife and I have raised four kids with widely different academic skills. One child has earned an MBA, while another struggled to get through high school. We are proud of all of them, but know that not all kids are meant for college. Our schools have a tough job. They need to teach employable skills to those students not going to college, and prepare those headed to college with the skills necessary to succeed.[3][4] |
