Campaign themes
2014
Trupiano's website highlighted the following campaign themes:[2]
- Excerpt: "There is only one promise any candidate can make come true no matter what. I promise to give you 100% of my effort to take your messages, ideas, and concerns to Lansing and work steadfastly to make what we need happen, happen. I promise that you will have all of me all the time and that as you join me on this adventure we call state politics as we come together there is truly nothing we can’t attempt to change. We will lose some and we will win some but those are better odds than we have now, aren’t they? Just be honest. The old adage/definition that insanity is doing the same thing but expecting a different result has never been truer than it is now, so common sense holds it’s time to do things differently. I do represent change."
