Campaign themes

2014

Hite's campaign website highlighted the following issues:[2]

Education

  • Excerpt: "We can’t continue to underfund public education by 500 million every year and pay our teachers some of the lowest salaries in the country and expect our schools to get better. We need to cut frivolous spending in the Department of Education and allocate money fairly so that we can make equal education a possibility for the rural areas of our state."

Department of Social Services

  • Excerpt: "We need a complete overhaul of our Department of Social Services. Protecting the young, defenseless children of our state should be our state’s #1 objective. Last year 58 children who were involved with the Department of Social Services died. It is my most important mission to make sure our state protects the children who do not have a voice."

Economy/Job Growth

  • Excerpt: "The best way to promote our local economy and job growth is to get government out of the way. We need to eliminate the red tape that hinders and debilitates our small businesses. Small businesses are what drive our rural, local economy our state should provide a level playing field so that we can compete with larger businesses."

Infrastructure/Roads and Bridges

  • Excerpt: "If our state plans to compete on the regional level we must repair our roads and bridges. We need to find and eliminate wasteful spending to pay for these expenses. Highways and bridges left in disrepair are hazards that make travel in our state a danger to our families."

Zero-based Budgeting

  • Excerpt: "Every state agency should begin each year with a brand-new budget, instead of adding to last year’s budget. This will assure that only necessary expenditures are made and will eliminate recurring wasteful spending."
