2016

The following issues were listed on Harris-Till's campaign website. For a full list of campaign themes, click here.

  • Jobs: Businesses don’t create jobs because of tax cuts, they create them because they're busy. America is known for creating great products, but, because we pay our people decently, a higher cost is ensued by the customer. The only thing stopping American’s from buying great American products are insufficient funds. Reinvest in the people and we’ll see an investment in our economy.
  • Education: We need an independent research group to go into states, and inform us of how much the minimum funding level for education should be. If the states are not meeting these goals then they need to be pressured by the Federal Government to either raise taxes or reduce the tax cuts they are giving to big business.
  • Respecting Our Veterans: Zero Veteran Homelessness. We need our governors and cities to join the Federal initiative presented by the first lady in partnership with the Department of Veterans Affairs to get our vets off the streets. Conducting coordinated outreach to proactively seek out Veterans in need of assistance.
  • Clean Energy: Today we have almost a total acceptance of climate change being real and manmade. The only people still denying its existence; are those (with snowballs) receiving money to do so. If we aren’t going to invest in clean energy because it’s what best for the environment; then can we at least invest in it because it’s the fastest growing industry in the world right now?
  • Infrastructure: If we are being honest, the Native nations are the only reason our roads and bridges are in as good of shape as they are. They are taking the money they receive from the Federal Government and reinvesting it into the surrounding areas. That is amazing and I think I speak for all of us when I say we are extremely thankful for their contributions, but I also think I speak for everyone when I question why isn’t the State and Federal Government doing more?
