Campaign themes
2014
In an interview with NewsDesk, Baum highlighted the following issues:[1]
Nevada health care issues
- Excerpt: "I obviously differ by my intense desire to include the availability of affordable health care for all our citizens. The problem at the moment is, there has been little to no planning in this area for district 1."
The Education Tax Initiative
- Excerpt: "Needs to be explored by all of us. It is certainly a budget problem that needs to be thoroughly discussed and solved by those concerned. Unfortunately, to date we have seen little in the way of proper budgeting."
Nevada Mining & Gaming Tax issues
- Excerpt: "Efforts to increase both, while including removing the constitutional cap on the mining tax. I thoroughly believe we have enough taxes. People and Corporations are over taxed. I would like to see us grow monetarily by a competitive society that will create more revenue. Indeed that is the history of our great country and it must continue, without the need for more government and more taxes."
Nevada’s minimum wage
- Excerpt: "Our state needs to attract good people that will stay in their positions and create the experience needed for the best possible service to the public. I would support a small increase in the minimum wage, but not so great as to substantially increase the costs of our goods and services."
Immigration issues
- Excerpt: "First we must secure our boarders before we can do anything else about immigration. The money we are spending now on people, who have already broken our laws, by coming here illegally, takes away from the goods and services monetary support of our own children, schools and particularly our elderly citizens. Our country is on the verge of bankruptcy now."
