Campaign themes
2016
Meyer's campaign website highlighted the following issues:[1]
Education
- Excerpt: "We must stand together to oppose the Takeover of MPS and reverse the misguided school voucher policies that have shifted your tax dollars from public schools to private for-profit corporations."
Mental health
- Excerpt: "We must demand transparency, accountability, and public input from the Board and County Executive Abele, whose unchecked power over the county's mental health budget is unreasonable and has created a corrupt system that has ignored the needs of those with mental health problems."
Civil rights
- Excerpt: "We must "ban the box" on job applications so those that have paid their debt to society can find a job and start over with a clean slate."
Voting rights
- Excerpt: "I will support an independent redistricting process. I am opposed to the 2010 redistricting that gerrymandered our state and created a vast majority of "safe seats," so voters do not have a real choice or chance to participate in a real debate over issues that matter."
Labor rights
- Excerpt: "We must also raise the minimum wage to a living wage so all full-time workers make enough money to provide for their family and have enough left over to invest in their community and local businesses."
