Campaign themes

2016

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

I support public schools!

  • Excerpt: "More dollars must get into classrooms to ensure that we are achieving optimal outcomes from this valuable investment in our future. "In the classroom" spending goes beyond the actual room to include the counselors, nurses, librarians, reading aides and other staff who help our students succeed."

Have you ever seen a usable two-legged stool?

  • Excerpt: "The three-legged stool of taxation – property, sales, and income – is horribly out of balance, as we have seen in our property tax bills and grocery store receipts. It's time we took a pragmatic and reasoned approach to taxation that reflects Kansas Common Sense."

It's time to stop borrowing from the Bank of KDOT.

  • Excerpt: "Infrastructure is important not only for our safety, but for economic development. Highway 69, I- 35, and I-435 are economic corridors for our area and large sweeps of KDOT funds to plug budget holes has left their future maintenance and expansion in doubt."

I believe the Second Amendment and Gun Safety can co-exist.

  • Excerpt: "More guns mean more gun violence. I support the second Amendment which allows citizens to protect their home, property and loved ones. However, when away from home, I trust our skilled police force to provide protection for every individual and keep our communities safe."
