Campaign themes
2014
Manning's website highlighted the following campaign themes:[1]
Jobs and the Economy
- Excerpt: "Idaho needs to grow good jobs, not just minimum wage jobs. Attracting corporate employers is difficult, so we must grow our current businesses and encourage entrepreneurs. Providing a stable tax structure is key to a quality business climate. A robust and high quality public school system is critically important to encourage employers to invest in Idaho’s communities."
Integrity
- Excerpt: "We need a transparent government that is responsible and responsive to its citizens – and representatives that reflect our best qualities, not some of our worst. As your next elected public servant, I intend to restore honesty, accountability and integrity to Idaho House seat 10A."
Education
- Excerpt: "Preparing students for college, career and the workforce begins with families and parents well before a child enters kindergarten. Because not all parents can offer a nurturing educational environment for their young children (especially with our state’s low wages), all children deserve optional, high quality pre-kindergarten learning opportunities – whether it’s public, private, religious, nonprofit, online, home school, or some combination. High school students need more opportunities for internships, externships, volunteer work, job shadowing, mentoring, and college and career counseling."
