Campaign themes
2016
Bogdan's website highlighted the following campaign themes:[1]
Government reform and Representation 2.0
- Excerpt: "As Americans, we expect our government to serve citizens efficiently and effectively--minimizing taxes without hurting our quality of life. We want our leaders to be people whom we respect and trust--individuals who seek to do what is in the best interest of their fellow citizens."
Tax reform and Build-A-Budget
- Excerpt: "As Americans, we expect our government to serve citizens efficiently and effectively, minimizing taxes without hurting our quality of life. As state representative, I will continue the work to lower your taxes, but I will do it through the elimination of waste and corruption (instead of cutting essential services!)"
Win-win solutions for jobs
- Excerpt: "Our vision for America is a land where if we work hard we can all achieve the American Dream. Our vision for America is a land where jobs pay well, where entrepreneurs have opportunities to start businesses, and where "unemployment" is an archaic term. As state representative, I will advocate win-win solutions that help both businesses and workers achieve the American Dream."
Restoring traditional values using Sound Science
- Excerpt: "This strategy, the Sound Science strategy, will enable us to essentially bulldoze over the arguments and legal precedent of the past. Using this strategy, we can win our cases in the Supreme Court--even if it is rigged against us! If we use science as the sole criteria and disregard past misguided legislation and psychological pseudo-science, we will win."
