Campaign themes
2014
Royal's website highlighted the following campaign themes:[1]
The Economy, Jobs & Energy
- Excerpt: "Budgets grow and bureaucratic red tape stifles business, while production flees California and our state faces a higher- than-national unemployment rate."
Education
- Excerpt: "I aim to make quality education accessible to children of all races and economic backgrounds, from the first day of kindergarten through the acceptance of their college diplomas. We live in the most exceptional and diverse state in the Union; there is no reason why we should expect any less of our education system."
Taxes and the Budget
- Excerpt: "I will provide policies to prevent future fiscal crises. California deserves a forward-thinking budget that funds important programs and invests in the future. The state suffers from the highest combined taxes in the nation and nearly the worst roads, schools, and business environment."
Water Supply
- Excerpt: "Water supply is a hot topic if you look online or in any newspaper these days. Given the vastness of dry, desert climates in our state, it is critical that water is delivered to California’s 37 million consumers and farmers as quickly and efficiently as possible."
