Campaign themes
2014
Gillies' campaign website highlighted the following issues:[1]
Taxes
- Excerpt: "I will continue to be that line of defense at the state level as I have been at the local level. As commissioner I made sure that Springfield has the lowest millage rate in the district. While maintaining the lowest tax level, Springfield still provides the highest quality level of services."
Jobs
- Excerpt: "It is going to be one of my primary focuses to help reduce and eliminate the regulations that impact growth and maintain the environmental stewardship that is part of the PA Constitution. Elimination of redundant reviews and the consolidation of agencies will be a major start in allowing PA to grow strong and be more competitive than our neighboring States. We need to provide high wage and entry level jobs now for our current work force and for our future work force, our children."
Education
- Excerpt: "We, as your representatives, need to take a fresh look at how the system functions. Areas were improvement is needed must be acted on, Areas of success must be emulated when possible and we must keep local control of the income, spending and curriculum."
