Campaign themes

2016

Bartmess' campaign website highlighted the following issues:[2]

Medical marijuana

  • Excerpt: "The topic of Medical Marijuana is easy. As a parent, I would want to do anything in my power to help my child. As medical marijuana has a proven record of helping illness, why would I not want to seek this to help them?"

Veterans Affairs

  • Excerpt: "As a veteran myself, I feel that it is my duty to get the care that our heroes deserve here in the State of Iowa. Not to long ago, a veteran died in Des Moines, just hours after he went to the Veterans Hospital seeking help. This kind of thing can not happen to our veterans. They served our country and now it is time we pay them back for what they did."

Speed cameras

  • Excerpt: "Although I can understand the reasoning and logic behind the use of speed cameras, I can not back such devices while wanting to maintain my civil liberties as stated in the State Motto. There is no way to physically face your accuser regarding tickets and there is no way that the camera knows it is you committing said crime."
