Campaign themes
2016
Barnett's campaign website highlighted the following issues:[2]
Healthcare and health insurance
- Excerpt: "Support 'Insure Tennessee' the Governor's plan which has been approved by the CMS, the Center for Medicare Services. The plan has built into it some financial responsibilities such as co-pays which makes it more 'conservative'."
Education
- Excerpt: "Reduce testing, so that teachers can work on teaching our children to enjoy learning and exploring all the information which will now be available through the internet. Control over the curriculum should be handed back to the local school boards."
Economic development
- Excerpt: "We must build an economy that works for everyone, where prosperity is widely shared and everyone has an equal opportunity to succeed. This means raising the federal minimum wage to lift millions of Americas out of poverty."
