Campaign themes

2014

Marques Booth's campaign website highlighted the following issues:

Susan on Education

• Excerpt: "There needs to be a voice in the school funding discussion about the arts and extracurricular programs. I will be that voice and that vote. We cannot reduce the school system to STEM (science, technology, engineering, & mathematics) courses only. Our children need to have the opportunities to explore their athletic and artistic talents as well. During their formative years, they need to expand and explore as many opportunities as possible. Our communities will be richer for it, both today and long into the future."

Susan on the Economy

• Excerpt: "As the Utah economy continues to rebound, growing stronger every day, too many of our neighbors are getting left behind. A sound economic approach is one that works for everybody’s benefit. Until everyone who wants one, can find a job that meets their needs, our economic policy is failing Utahns. In the legislature, we need to remember we work for every Utahn whether they can afford a lobbyist or not. Good jobs and economic security will guide my decisions and should guide the legislature."

Susan on Environment

• Excerpt: "Currently, our severance tax, the tax someone must pay to remove resources from the land, is one of the lowest in the nation. This is ridiculous! We have a limited amount of natural resources and we are giving them away at bargain basement prices. I will fight, and it will be a fight, to bring this absurdly low tax rate to par with similar states. We have been giving it away for too long and in my opinion it has not served the state or Utahns."
