Campaign themes
2014
Wood's campaign website highlighted the following issues:[1]
Education
- Excerpt: "From early childhood education through higher education, there is an opportunity to make improvements at each level which will can have a lasting effect on the future of our state. Improvements in our elementary and secondary education will benefit our state by reducing the amount of remedial education done at our colleges and universities. Our system of Higher Education needs to remain affordable and it is imperative that we continue to prepare our students to meet the state’s workforce needs."
Affordable Housing
- Excerpt: "As affordable housing continues to be a concern of many of us here in the Grand Forks community, I plan on making this issue one of my top priorities during the next legislative session."
Tax Relief
- Excerpt: "Providing tax relief to the citizens of North Dakota will benefit our state in a number of ways. Tax relief will result in more money back into the pockets of every North Dakota citizen, and it will also have a positive impact on our state’s economy. We can achieve this by taking an innovative approach in addressing the challenges we face in offering government services. By working together with all members of the legislature, I firmly believe we can continue to lower taxes while finding more efficient ways in providing those essential services to the people of North Dakota."
