Campaign themes

2016

The following issues were listed on Reed's campaign website. For a full list of campaign themes, click here.

  • Economy and the Environment: A strong economy must protect the resources on which people and businesses rely. Economies must operate safely. It’s not an economy if you can’t drink the water.
  • Essential Resources for our District: Safe infrastructure, good hospitals and health care, and protection of those in need are necessities not luxuries.
  • Ethics in Government: Many times in our history, Americans have had to hit the reset button to rid our government of corruption, and now is one of those times.
  • Equality and Education: An economy of opportunity is founded on equal treatment under the law and access to education. These foundational American principles of prosperity and security must be protected.[4]
