Campaign themes

2016

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

Education

  • Excerpt: "Stephen believes we must restore full funding to education and tie future funds to the rate of inflation at the very minimum. In addition to this what is needed is education reform."

Pay equality

  • Excerpt: "As a State Assembly Representative, he will work to protect women against violence and sexual assault through government and private sector collaboration."

Social justice

  • Excerpt: "Stephen believes we must commit to the principles of fairness and opportunity to all people. Right is of no sex, truth is of no color, and sexual orientation should be no barrier to inclusion and opportunity in our state."

Transportation and infrastructure

  • Excerpt: "Stephen will work to address the infrastructure crisis in our state, repairing bridges and dams and restoring water quality in our community. He is a strong advocate of public transit and believes that helping marginalized groups should be our priority."

Empowering democracy

He will fight to end Bi-Partisan Gerrymandering and to create an independent redistricting commission to bring fairness and value to voting in our state."
