Campaign themes
2016
Jensen's campaign website highlighted the following issues:[1]
Effective governance
- Excerpt: "A government too small cannot properly perform; what then is the purpose of having a government? If it is too large, then there will be waste in taxpayers’ funds and too many layers for citizens to be good stewards over their governments. I, therefore, advocate smart, effective government."
Moral governance
- Excerpt: "As stated in the Declaration of Independence, governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed. A moral government is one that acts only with in its properly delegated authority. As a creation of man, governments are servants to the citizens, and not citizens to governments."
- Excerpt: "When governments exist to protect all individuals’ rights and not redistribute wealth or create an artificial society, then is the period of most prosperity; for, as acknowledged by Milton Friedman, a society that puts equality above freedom will get neither. A society that puts freedom above equality will get a high degree of both."
Just governance
- Excerpt: "Just governance comes when a government, acting with moral authority, applies effective solutions to do the right thing at the right time for the right reasons. Motives for government action are as important as the action itself. To ensure honesty in government, I promote just governance."
