Campaign themes
2014
Large's website highlighted the following campaign themes:
| “ | Budget/Spending
In the last Legislative session, the House and Senate chose to pass a bills that increased Montana's budget by 13%. This radically increased spending cannot be allowed to continue. Federal Government plans, like the temporary Medicaid increase, would have compounded current problems into much larger ones in coming years. If we continue with this kind of fiscal irresponsibility in the future, Montana will find itself in debt, much like the rest of this country. My competitor voted for almost every opportunity to raise spending in Montana while voting down almost every budget cut to accommodate for the extra $500,000,000 in spending
My competitor voted for many of the bills necessary to allow Montana to comply with ObamaCare (HB 250, SB 395, HB 623)
My competitor sponsored the bill that allowed for the adoption of common core in Montana Schools (SB 175)
