Campaign themes
2016
LaCroix's campaign website highlighted the following issues:[1]
Mass shootings and guns
- Excerpt: "I believe that most Minnesotans would agree that terrorist suspects should not be allowed to purchase guns, although some discussion needs to occur as to how a person gets on a watch list and procedural process to be removed from a watch list."
Education
- Excerpt: "The future of our great state has always belonged to today's students. Unfortunatley [sic], today our students are discouraged from pursuing an advanced education due to the huge and always increasing tuition rates."
Healthcare
- Excerpt: "I believe most of us agree that there should be a systematic approach to a wide variety of options that will enable us to find the most effective health care system."
Incomes and the economy
- Excerpt: "I’ve experienced unemployment and underemployment, so I understand the people's economic struggles and a strong job market is very important to me. I believe in Capitalism but, as with any economic system we need to be sure that those who are most vulnerable are protected from the injustices of said system."
