Campaign themes
2016
Williams' campaign website highlighted the following issues:
| “ |
Voter ID Law Voting is a privilege that comes with being a citizen of our country and our state. It is a privilege that needs to be protected from any fraud or manipulation no mater how big or small. A voter ID law in Nevada is necessary for us to protect our representative democracy. Government Spending Lets face it, tax dollars are your money and you want that money used in the best way possible. We have all had to learn to do more with less and make good financial choices in our lives. The Government should learn to do the same with your money. Lets make smart financial decisions and look at how our money is being spent instead of increasing our taxes. School Free Speech Free speech is one of our most important rights if not our most fundamental right. However, in today's academic environment be it colleges or even in our local elementary schools that right is being threatened, There is a fear of offending even one person and the over zealous administrators. Students and parents should not be afraid to speak their minds.[1] |
