Campaign themes
2014
Walker's website highlighted the following campaign themes:[1]
Education
- Excerpt: "Schools don’t have enough resources to deal with the challenges that come with serving an urban population; teachers don’t receive proper training and are underpaid; and the bureaucracy is non-responsive. The result is that too many kids never learn how to read and write, and a tragic number drop out."
Economic Development
- Excerpt: "California’s unemployment rate remains unacceptably high, and is even worse in urban Los Angeles. I’ve seen firsthand what happens to communities when people don’t have the opportunity to take care of their families: poverty… gangs… drug abuse… crime… poor nutrition… poor health... and more. Everyone pays the price."
Health Care
- Excerpt: "I believe that health care is a basic right and that the overall health of our communities is determined by how we treat those most in need."
Public Safety
- Excerpt: "The ability to feel safe and protected in our neighborhoods and homes is an essential right. I support the efforts of the LAPD and the LA County Sheriff’s Department to reduce violence, and I congratulate them for their leadership in reducing violent crime using advanced policing and community partnerships."
