Campaign themes
2013
The shared website of Inverso, Steve Cook and Ronald Haas highlighted the following campaign themes:[3]
- Property Taxes
- Excerpt: "The Inverso Team is dedicated to tackling the root causes of high property taxes through reforming government and taking corruption head on."
- Taxes
- Excerpt: "Taxes on middle-class families are too high. Both parties should work together for real tax relief for the middle-class first."
- Jobs
- Excerpt: "Small business job creation drives a strong economy. Team Inverso understands the importance of having a business friendly state. Reducing government bureaucracy, providing tax incentives and aggressive outreach are key factors in New Jersey’s success at creating jobs."
- Economy
- Excerpt: "When businesses are able to grow and create jobs without the government getting in their way, the economy improves. By allowing people the opportunity to work hard spend their hard-earned money on their families, The Inverso Team will create a sustainable economy and future that our kids can count on."
- Women, Children & Families
- Excerpt: "The health and welfare of our families is always at the center of our daily lives. That is one of the many reasons why affordable and accessible health insurance has always been a top priority for Senator Inverso at the State House."
In an article on Nj.com, Inverso highlighted the following themes of his campaign:[4]
- Property Taxes
- Excerpt: "Christie’s property tax cut should be pursued 'vigorously,' but also called for a constitutional convention to thoroughly examine property taxes more broadly." He also stated on the issue that, “I have no problem with a convention that focuses narrowly on how we can deal with property tax issues and how to transform them into something less regressive and more progressive,” he said. “You have to deal with how significant a shift has to be made. You can’t increase taxes to the extent that we end up blunting the incentives for staying here if you’re a high-income earner or your company is here.”
- Deregulation
- Excerpt: "Inverso said the state’s salvation lies in big technology, biomedical and pharmaceutical companies. By continuing to remove cumbersome regulations on opening and operating businesses, the state’s Red Tape Review Commission will encourage business owners to invest in the state and hire unemployed college graduates."
