Campaign themes

2016

Sterner's campaign website highlighted the following issues:

“

Strengthening Opportunities In Education

  • Minnesota’s future is only bright with a talented workforce. Phil will fight for investments from early childhood education up to job training and will work to reduce the financial burden of attending college.

Supporting Business Growth

  • Phil will prioritize growing our businesses: investing in Minnesota jobs, entrepreneurs and small businesses. A competitive tax code, equal pay for equal work and vocational and technical job training will help us lead the nation.

Protecting Your Pocketbook

  • Fully funding education for our K-12 students at a state level would help reduce our local property taxes. Phil will fight for equal pay for equal work, sick days and refinancing of student loan debt the same way you can a mortgage.[2]
 ”
—Phillip Sterner[3]
