Campaign themes

2016

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

  • Education: In a highly competitive global economy, we need the best-educated workforce in the world. It is insane and counter-productive to the best interests of our country and our future, that hundreds of thousands of bright young people cannot afford to go to college, and that millions of others leave school with a mountain of debt that burdens them for decades. That shortsighted path to the future must end.
  • Environment: We must shout from the mountaintops that there is scientific evidence that global warming is real and that we must make changes to reduce our contribution to it. We must take care of our planet.
  • Safe Consumption: We must make sure that our food, water, air and pharmaceuticals are safe for consumption. We deserve better testing and longer lasting problem solving.
  • End Discrimination: We can no longer sit idly by while politicians attempt to condone and legalize discrimination to fit with their own biases. This is America where all have the right to live freely and with dignity. Our voices of reason must be louder than the bullying and fear tactics used to manipulate and make us suspicious of one another. We need tolerance now. Together we can create a community where everyone belongs.
  • Healthcare: Health care must be recognized as a right, not a privilege. We need to demand loudly and clearly that the governors of all states extend Medicare under the Affordable Care Act so thousands of vulnerable citizens without health care can be covered. Our people can’t wait.
