Campaign themes
2016
Willis' website highlighted the following campaign themes:[2]
Save our Schools
- Excerpt: "As your Senator, Scott Willis will be focused on ensuring our tax paying dollars will remain at home and our schools are funded in a way to avoid referendums, a double tax needed to replace operating funds taken by the state. It is important our children have a strong voice in the Indiana Senate to ensure our local schools have the funding necessary to maintain high standards we all expect. We must remain competitive not only in Indiana but across the country and throughout the world."
Invest in our Communities
- Excerpt: "Scott Willis will work hard to ensure the State stops micromanaging our communities and gives back control of their tax paying dollars to invest in roads, infrastructure, or other community projects. Tax increases are NOT necessary. We simply need the money currently collected to be reinvested into the communities they come from."
Keep our Families Safe
- Excerpt: " Scott Willis comes from a family of law enforcement and is committed to supporting laws that protect our families and is focused on the intangibles versus saving a dollar by releasing criminals back to our streets."
