Campaign themes
Tuschy's website highlighted the following campaign themes:[1]
Jobs
- Excerpt: "The best solution for job creation comes from the private sector and free markets. Lower taxes, fewer regulations, less costly permits and licensing are all ways to stimulate the economy and job growth."
Taxes and Spending
- Excerpt: "Lowering taxes will leave you more money to take care of yourself and your family, and it will allow businesses greater opportunities to hire new workers, increase current salaries, and expand their companies."
Corporate Income Tax
- Excerpt: "Minnesota’s corporate income tax rate (9.8 percent) is fourth highest in the nation and reducing or repealing the corporate income tax would greatly improve Minnesota’s position to attract new businesses as well as our ability to keep and even expand our existing businesses."
Free Market Economics
- Excerpt: "Government should not be in the business of handing out money or supporting one line of business over another. "
Personal Liberty
- Excerpt: "My support of an individual's right to make choices in life does not mean that I necessarily approve or disapprove of those choices. The lives and actions of people are their own responsibility, not the government's."
