Campaign themes

On his 2011 campaign website McCarley focuses on four issues:[1]

  • Job recruitment: "Thomas K.McCarley will work with area, state and federal leaders to market and promote Northeast Mississippi to business and industry. With a good rail system, the Tennessee River and the Tenn-Tom Waterway, he said, the area has much to offer."
  • Education funding: "Thomas K. McCarley supports funding public education at the highest level. He opposes any additional education budget cuts; he said public schools already have suffered enough with three hundred million dollars in state funding cuts the past three years."
  • Public safety: "Thomas K. McCarley supports providing firefighters as well as local, county and state law enforcement officers, with the equipment and manpower they need to effectively protect the lives and property of everyone – including themselves."
  • Property taxes: "Thomas K.McCarley opposes reducing state financial support for kindergarten through 12th grade public schools, which would shift the funding responsibility to the local level – and require an increase in local property taxes on homes and vehicles."
