Ferguson's campaign website listed the following themes for 2016:
| “ |
COMPASSION EQUALITY JUSTICE DIVERSITY Currently there isn’t a lot of diversity on the Magistrates bench and yet the population of Kanawha County is quite diverse. In my campaign, I’ve been fortunate to meet many interesting people who come from all walks of life and who represent many different groups, social circles, communities and neighborhoods. From Institute to Chelyan; South Park to Elkview; from Sissonville to Rand; from the West Side to Nitro; Alum Creek to Cross Lanes, the diversity of peoples runs the gamut and after listening to the many perspectives I can safely say that indeed we have more similarities than differences. I hope that my presence will bring a value added change to the Magistrates court; and know that I will be a Magistrate who not only recognizes diversity, but also understands, respects and welcomes diversity.
