Campaign themes

2016

Gammel's campaign website highlighted the following issues:[1]

Education K-12

  • Excerpt: "There is nothing more vital to the future success of our community and the State of Minnesota than our K-12 education system. A solid education system leads to a successful economy and workforce, and it should be our intent to provide the highest quality education possible to every student."

Higher learning

  • Excerpt: "A valuable tool to the growth of our economy is that students seeking traditional and nontraditional post-secondary education have access to a quality education at an affordable price."

Jobs

  • Excerpt: "We should be doing all we can to provide incentive's for new companies to set up shop in our community, as well as help the companies here continue to hire and expand."

Veterans Affairs

  • Excerpt: "Minnesota's veteran unemployment rate is the third highest in the nation and as a veteran of the United States Marine Corps I find this unacceptable."

Firearm rights

  • Excerpt: "As Americans our 2nd Amendment right to bear arms should be something we are proud of. I have a permit to carry and fully believe in an individual's right to defend their life and property."

2014

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

Veterans Affairs

  • Excerpt: "I expect that given the opportunity to find out for themselves, most employers would feel the same way. These Women and Men served their nation and now it is time for us to serve them."

Education K-12

  • Excerpt: "Properly funding our schools is not a cure all to the decline of our school system, but it would certainly be a good start. We need to make sure students have access to the resources and technology their future success may depend on."

Firearm Rights

  • Excerpt: "I will work closely with Law Enforcement and other professionals to ensure firearm laws in Minnesota reduce crime and improve safety in our community and across the state. "

Higher Learning

  • Excerpt: "The State of Minnesota should continue to invest in students through the use of grants and funding of post-secondary education."

Jobs

  • Excerpt: "We should be doing all we can to provide incentive's for new companies to set up shop in our community, as well as help the companies here continue to hire and expand."
