2014
Worth's website highlighted the following campaign themes:[5]
- Education
- Excerpt: "I believe a society that invests in an environment that promotes a quality education system, is a society that is prone to opportunities that foster growth and prosperity. My plan when elected is to actively support initiates and legislation which promote continued expansion and enhancement of our State's Early Childhood Education Programs."
- Economic Development
- Excerpt: "I am firm believer that a strong, diverse, and sustainable economy enhances one's quality of life, creates wealth and jobs, and encourages fully active and civically engaged communities. When elected my focus is to take a team approach in both supporting and generating legislation that brings real jobs (i.e. careers) and economic stability to our State through expanding our industrial portfolio and providing more opportunities for our people."
- Quality of Life
- Excerpt: "At the end of the day what matters to people is having a standard of living where one can both sustain and grow. Growth and Sustainability is what feeds our children, pays the bills, and enables us to provide the essentials to ourselves and the people who are important to us. It's what drives us to want better, to achieve, and also contribute to others and things greater than ourselves. It's the road free of pot holes, a quality education for our children, and a home-delivered meal for a Senior Citizen on a limited income. Quality of life is freedom and an environment that promotes happiness. And it's an outcome derived from an environment that fosters 'Economic Security.'"
