Campaign themes

2016

Reed's campaign website highlighted the following issues:[1]

Immigration

  • Excerpt: "If a law is written then enforcement must take place. Yes, immigration is the foundation of this country but it must be done so legally."

Energy

  • Excerpt: "No matter the type of energy; oil, natural gas, wind, solar, or nuclear, America runs on energy. We need to keep our options open across all alternatives so that not any one source will be in jeopardy of being depleted nor so vital that we become ignorant of the benefits the others offer to the economy."

Political reform

  • Excerpt: "Government agencies and programs should be held to the same scrutiny that any business would be held to. As in business, Cost Benefit Analysis is performed before any undertaking to see if the project or program is worthwhile."

Education

  • Excerpt: "Educational results have not kept pace with the expectations of the state or the country. We lag behind countries that use to look at us as a leader."
