Campaign themes
Larson's website highlighted the following campaign themes:[1]
Agriculture
- Excerpts:
- "Keep Activist Groups From Attacking Animal Agricultural Producers – Anti-agriculture organizations like the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) may pursue legislative and ballot initiatives that push an economically destructive agenda. We must continue to protect our agricultural producers and, in so doing, protect our state’s economy."
- "Keep Trade Barriers Low – Nebraska's agricultural economy is one that depends on our state's ability to get our superior products to market."
Community
- Excerpt: "The children in our community - the leaders of our future - can benefit from your leadership and willingness to help them progress inside and outside of the classroom. Whether or not you have children, grandchildren or other family attending your local school, we should all do what we can do to give guidance and share our wisdom and knowledge with our future - the youth of our community."
Economy
- Excerpt: "We must work harder to bring new businesses through stronger economic incentives and lower business taxes. The additional jobs and investment in our local communities will far outweigh the loss of potential revenue."
Education
- Excerpt: "Local school districts and boards of education must be empowered to develop their districts’ policies and curriculum so as to benefit the children of their district. This includes control over how their budget is spent, policies in place, and the development of their teachers, including teacher compensation."
Limited Government
- Excerpt: "As a dedicated believer in limited government, I believe the less government involvement the better whether it is the Federal Government or the Unicameral. We must place trust in our elected local officials and as constituents use the honor of our right to vote and voice our opinion wisely."
