Campaign themes

2014

Wright's website highlighted the following campaign themes:[2]

  • Excerpt: "Some of the issues I am concerned about:
  • Protecting and safeguarding the traditional family.
  • The defense of our religious freedom. Issues surrounding gender threaten both religious and traditional family life.
  • Restoring local control of public education to Utahns.
  • Unemployment. Government can help set the landscape to encourage employment opportunities within all sectors of our economy.
  • Veterans! We need to recognize and help them reintegrate into society.
  • The best ways to grow Utah’s economy within the proper role of government.
  • Welfare – caring for the poor and needy not as an entitlement but as a safety net.
  • The growing burden of taxes and fees. I cannot support the first inclination by lawmakers to raise taxes and fees.
  • The expansion and growth (and appetite) of government. We need to downsize government.
  • Issues surrounding State sovereignty.
  • Dependence on Federal funds.
  • Readiness of our State militia to respond to sudden onset disasters.
  • Environmental issues that affect health and our quality of life.
  • Ethical reform – there must be a zero tolerance policy for corruption.
  • Encourage citizenship and patriotism."
