Campaign themes

2016

Idso's campaign website highlighted the following issues:

“
  • Economic Growth and Competition with Fargo: Make Moorhead more attractive for businesses and encourage new business start-ups through the introduction of new tax incentives. Deregulate the area's economy so businesses can conduct themselves more effectively and the economy can evolve naturally. Eliminate the one-size-fits-all policies that St. Paul has imposed on businesses, big and small. Prioritize growing jobs in Moorhead and put an end to unnecessary regulations. Cut all of red tape businesses must go through that prevent the innovation and growth of our business community. Expand the scope of the Border-Cities Enterprise Zone Program.
  • Taxes: Keep more money in the pockets of the people of Moorhead and Minnesota and allow them to benefit themselves in a more direct manner than the state can. Encourage the reduction of property taxes through action at the state level. Remove some of the handicaps faced by Moorhead families by reducing or entirely eliminating taxes on multiple products and industries that have been levied onto us by St. Paul, including the income tax.
  • Gun Rights: Expand Minnesota's narrowed view of gun rights and secure these rights for future Minnesotans through the introduction of an amendment to the Constitution of Minnesota. Remove the registration and licensing barriers that infringe upon our right to bear arms. Oppose any new anti-gun legislation proposed in the legislature.
  • Education: Support private, online and home school educational programs in order to ensure that every child receives the schooling best suited to their individual needs. Ensure funding for our public schools and early learning programs is secured and the amount needed to give our students a competitive advantage is received. Advocate for school choice so children may attend the school best suited to their individual needs as determined by their parents and not the state.[1]
