Campaign themes

2016

Bailey's website highlighted the following campaign themes:[1]

Economy & Jobs

  • Excerpt: "Businesses need a sustainable vision and a welcoming economic climate and a highly educated workforce in which to operate. We must maintain our business friendly regulation and tax structure if we are going to continue to drive economic growth in the State and area."

Education

  • Excerpt: "Our choices and investments must be tailored to the 21st century and effective outcomes. We can no longer accept the the [sic] status quo - our children deserve the best."

Community

  • Excerpt: "Individuals who struggle with mental health and substance use disorders can, and do get well. Improving these systems will have an economic impact by reducing crime, expensive mass incarceration and homelessness for women, children, families and Veterans."

Government

  • Excerpt: "Our government must be open, accountable and transparent to every citizen. Government is responsible for protecting our American way of life; It is not the role of government to overreach in every aspect of our daily lives by over regulating and recklessly spending the tax payer's money."
