Campaign themes
2016
Hernandez's campaign website highlighted the following issues:[1]
Education
- Excerpt: "We need to focus on our children; education is the pathway to Minnesota’s economic future. My priority is funding for our public education system from pre-k through college. I will fight to ensure our educators have the resources they need to be successful and our students don’t fall through the cracks."
Transportation & Infrastructure
- Excerpt: "Minnesota needs transportation solutions that work for everyone. The MN House has hurt everyday Minnesotans by refusing to work together to pass a transportation bill the last two years! We must work together to pass solutions that fund roads, bridges and transit."
Economic Prosperity
- Excerpt: "Minnesota’s economy is extremely successful but not working for everyone – especially our minority populations. We need to work together to pass laws that support families and economic growth while not burden on our small businesses."
