Campaign themes

2014

Sidhu's campaign website highlighted the following issues:[2]

Creating Jobs

  • Excerpt: "I am a believer in jobs that support our environment. Washington should lead the way in these jobs which keep our environment clean and protected. Only by pursuing these transformative solutions, will we have both good jobs and a healthy environment."

Education: K-12, Higher Ed and Technical Training

  • Excerpt: "A two or four year degree is not luxury but a necessity. We must collectively figure out a better and more efficient system of education."

Breaking the Gridlock: Compromise is not a bad word

  • Excerpt: "In past couple of decades, the legislature has been fixated on “winning” and “losing” because there is too much all or nothing mentality.We need to change the definitions of winning and losing and break the gridlock. Media can play a good role in this. I believe in serving my constituents, and I will work for your best interest. Period."

Agriculture

  • Excerpt: "Their [Farmers] voice needs to be brought to the table as we seek resolution for competing claims to water and land use management. I believe we all Washingtonians deserve clean drinking water, no matter where they live. There are solutions within our reach if we can work together."

Mental Health

  • Excerpt: "I believe the state has to do more to address mental health issues."
