Campaign themes
2016
Girouard's campaign website highlighted the following issues:[2]
Jobs and wages
- Excerpt: "The best way to grow wages is to increase competition for employees. Hence, we need businesses creating more jobs."
Taxes
- Excerpt: "We need a Representative who will stand up for the taxpayers. The incumbent, Kenneth Gordon, has a ZERO rating with Citizens for Limited Taxation in standing up for the taxpayers."
Transparency and accountability
- Excerpt: "Three Speakers in a row have been convicted of felonies. Multiple State Senators have been convicted and sent to jail for a variety of crimes. Another Senator is under investigation. The Probation Department jobs-rigging scandal was an embarrassment to the legislature and still looms over it."
Education
- Excerpt: "Paul Girouard is a proud father, who wants all of our children to receive a quality education that focuses on the fundamentals rather than a political agenda. He has a common sense approach to improving education."
