2014
Szynkowicz's website highlighted the following campaign themes:[7]
Economics
- Excerpt: "I am a Conservative Republican, who believes in 'Economics 101' – in order to increase revenue, you lower taxes. "
Taxes
- Excerpt: "I propose auditing all the government agencies for redundancy and waste. We need to consolidate and run the state like a small business owner would run their successful business."
Welfare
- Excerpt: "We need to cut the Welfare role, by giving opportunities to those that want to work and better themselves and remove those that just use and abuse the system."
Collective Bargaining
- Excerpt: "I support collective bargaining and am against being a 'Right to Work State.' The integrity of the licensing and educational backgrounds needed would be undermined, as well as the safety to the public."
Seniors
- Excerpt: "Assisting seniors in their golden years by working with the cable companies to give them drastic discounts in their service while simultaneously setting up a program within the state to donate a dollar to a special fund to help seniors pay for their cable would be a way to give them added comfort after working most of their lives."
