Campaign themes
2012
On his campaign website, Anderson lists five issues. They are:[2]
- Taxes
- On her website, Anderson says, "The people are being overtaxed, but the Fortune 100 are getting away with exemptions. In other words, the corporations are not paying the required 35% rate.

- Healthy Food
- On her website, Anderson says, "Stop the GMOs! Genetically modified organisms are everywhere in our food, and it's not safe. What's alarming is that there are no experts in nutrition in the US Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition and Forestry. I see myself serving in this committee, and I can bring my knowledge of nutrition to the forefront."
- Cancer
