Campaign themes
2016
Clark's campaign website highlighted the following issues:[5]
Young adults need representation
- Excerpt: "The population of Vermont is aging and shrinking, and while every age bracket has something to offer, we cannot function as a whole society if an entire bracket is underrepresented or missing from the conversation."
Healthcare
- Excerpt: "Healthcare costs in Vermont are growing every day. If we cannot mitigate costs, it will dramatically limit our ability to address every other issue that is dear to our hearts."
Climate change
- Excerpt: "Climate change is a legitimate and serious issue. We can balance the environment with the economy by growing green industries in Vermont."
Early childhood education
- Excerpt: "Early childhood education reduces long term costs for education, healthcare, and criminal justice. When we invest in our children, we invest in their future, the future of our community, and the future of the planet."
Tax base
- Excerpt: "We need to frame our policy decisions in the context of their impact on Vermont’s tax base. When young adults stay in Vermont—when they buy homes, start families, and build businessses—our state’s economy thrives."
