Campaign themes
Woodside's website highlighted the following campaign themes:[1]
Jobs and the Economy
- Excerpt: "Terry believes that we must create a business friendly climate in West Virginia. One of the easiest ways to improve the economy is to create a business friendly tax climate. Terry would help create a tax code that is fair and equal for every business."
Government
- Excerpt: "Terry’s approach to government is to shrink, streamline, and simplify. Government has gotten ever larger and more intrusive for West Virginians. Government should be simple and transparent, no more fuzzy mass government."
Accountability
- Excerpt: "Terry believes that legislators must be held accountable by their constituents. Terry believes that the legislature should create a website to show every expenditure in a simple and easily access-able fashion online. This would give every citizen in West Virginia a tool with which they can hold their legislators accountable for their actions."
Family Values
- Excerpt: "The strength of our district is directly related to the strength of our families. Unbeknownst to many of the residents of our great state, there are 11,000 to 12,000 homeless children in West Virginia. Instead of acting to help the thousands of homeless children that roam West Virginia, the legislature has enacted a 10 year study. We need to stop the studies and solve the problems. Studying homeless children will not help them."
Certificate of Need
- Excerpt: "The current West Virginia legislature lags behind many other legislatures in the repeal or revision of Certificates of Need. Other states have seen the flaws and have already begun major overhauls of their system. West Virginia should follow their lead and reform the Certificate of Need system."
