Campaign themes
2016
Bunce's website highlighted the following campaign themes:[1]
Taxes/Jobs
- Excerpt: "Keeping taxes low and government small is the essence of the Republican Party. Free market principles are proven to work far better than government programs or interference."
Property taxes
- Excerpt: "The American dream of home ownership should be encouraged. High property taxes threaten the ability to achieve and maintain home ownership, particularity for our retired and those living on fixed incomes."
Jobs

Health Care
- Excerpt: "Health care should be between the patient and doctor period. Government run mandated insurance programs such as Obamacare has driven prices sky high."
Education
- Excerpt: "Let freedom be the answer, Give parents the freedom of choice and access the school that best fits the needs of their child and family values. Teachers need the freedom to run their own class and not follow mandated one size fits all."
