Campaign themes
2016
Brown's campaign website highlighted the following issues:
| “ |
My focus and reason for running for Senate is to bridge the gap between communities so we can come together to address issues and to create solutions that will benefit all. Our District has been overlooked, underfunded and misrepresented for too long. Now is the time for the people of Senate District 15 to unite and join in an effort to open lines of communication, address issues of mutual concern and find solutions that will uplift all of our families and help our region achieve its full potential. We can only spark change in this district with a new type of leadership and representation. I have support of people who recognize the need for change and understand the possibilities. When law makers truly seek what’s in the best interest of the people and work together, we all prosper. Native people have a voice. We can create positive changes and move toward a more promising future for all. I am blessed to have the opportunity to let my voice be heard and I look forward to the challenges that lie ahead. I need your support help me make history.[1] |
