Campaign themes

2014

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

Economy + Jobs

  • Excerpt: "While Michigan’s economy is improving, job creation must remain our top priority. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Michigan’s unemployment rate is still the fifth-highest in the nation (7.8%). By keeping taxes low and eliminating unnecessary occupational licensure requirements, we can create a business-friendly climate that promotes innovation and investment. "

Life

  • Excerpt: "Our Declaration of Independence recognizes that the Creator has endowed every person with an inalienable right to life. This includes those yet to be born. As a State Representative, I’ll firmly support policies that extend this right to those in the womb. "

Roads

  • Excerpt: "It’s been a harsh winter, and it’s time to repair the roads. We must adequately invest in our transportation infrastructure. The Legislature recently passed a $329 million spending bill to fund road maintenance and construction projects. If elected, I’ll push to ensure that our District is awarded the maximum possible funding allocation so we can make the necessary repairs. "

Guns

  • Excerpt: "The 2nd Amendment to the U.S. Constitution grants citizens the right to keep and bear arms. I’ll defend these rights as a member of the Legislature. "

Human Trafficking

  • Excerpt: "As a member of Attorney General Schuette’s 2013 Michigan Commission on Human Trafficking, I recognize the heinous nature of this crime and will continue to support legislative efforts to break the chains of modern-day slavery."
