Campaign themes
2016
Purcell's campaign website highlighted the following issues:[1]
Economic opportunity and growth
- Excerpt: "Our economy needs to grow and evolve to meet the needs of the changing job market and workplace, including protecting workers and families with policies such as paid family leave, predictable scheduling, fair pay, and access to high-quality childcare."
Housing
- Excerpt: "We have not had significant housing development in 30 years, and as we work to expand our economy we need to ensure that we have adequate and affordable housing for all people."
Health care
- Excerpt: "In addition to the universal challenges of quality and affordability of health care, our rural communities have other significant challenges: access to even basic services, shortages of physicians, dentists, nurses, and other health care professionals, and transportation issues."
Providing excellent education
- Excerpt: "If an individual works hard, for decades they have been able to create and access opportunity for a brighter future. We are at a moment in time where that promise is not being kept for students throughout our state, and especially in our small towns and rural communities. We must restore that promise."
Fairness and Justice
- Excerpt: "I believe that we must fight for all people regardless of race, class, gender, sexual orientation and identity."
