Campaign themes

2018

The following campaign themes were found on Dyer's campaign website. For a full list of issues, click here.

Education
Noah believes in equal education for all Arizonans. He believes students should be exposed to computer programming fundamentals in Kindergarten, and receive computer science and other STEM curriculum with great intensity throughout their education. Noah favors equal educational opportunities for all of Arizona’s children, and he is opposed to government spending and taxation policies that contribute to the divide between the quality of education received by the affluent and the poor and middle class. He supports initiatives that transfer education costs away from parents and onto businesses hiring Arizona’s graduates, such as higher corporate taxes. In return, he believes businesses have the right and responsibility to influence educational standards so that Arizona graduates exceed their expectations.
Jobs
Noah believes that the great companies of the future want to locate in states that have progressive social attitudes and the infrastructure to provide opportunities for success as well as, diverse lifestyles for their employees. Furthermore, while businesses will always publicly seek tax cuts and tax breaks, they also understand taxes enable the best education, security, health care, and other government services that are vital for competitive advantage. Robust government services allow their employees to live comfortable and fulfilled lives. He looks to California (the largest US economy) and Norway (2nd highest median income in the world) as just 2 leading examples where companies accept regulations and taxes in exchange for excellence.
Budget
Noah believes that government debt is an immoral tax on the next generation, and he is opposed to any budget that does not rapidly pay down state debt.[4]
