Campaign themes

2014

Suhr's website highlighted the following campaign themes:[2]

Education

  • Excerpt: "Education is a top priority for the State and for Megan. Having 2 children in the public school system, she feels it is vitally important for your Representative to understand the local needs of the teachers, administrators and children. She will foster relationships which will allow her to represent our districts educational paths."

Business

  • Excerpt: "She will work towards providing a climate that facilitates putting people back to work, providing small businesses the opportunity to thrive in any economy by reducing property taxes, and work towards reducing corporate income taxes. She will work to ensure that this will not be shifting the burden onto the community and rural Iowans."

Healthcare

  • Excerpt: "Megan believes all people deserve the opportunity to be healthy and seek the care that best suits their needs. Healthcare is an essential need for all Iowans, not something for political infighting. Megan would support a tax credit for small businesses to assist with the cost of healthcare."

Climate Change

  • Excerpt: "Megan will support all industries that foster a stronger Iowa economy and position Iowa to be the Midwest leader in addressing the challenges of our changed climate. She supports Iowa’s renewable energy, such as biofuels, ethanol, and wind energy. Iowan’s use 20% renewable energy in our State, and export enough to be considered to be near the top of worldwide exporters."

Farming

  • Excerpt: "Megan realizes the importance of our farming communities. She will work to support the farm families within the district so that they may pass on the family farm to future generations. "
