Campaign themes

2016

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

“
  • Reverse Citizens United: Overtune the 2010 Supreme Court Ruling that has allowed even greater influence of big money. The legislature and president, through executive order, has had this power from the onset but has failed to act because they ultimately benefit.
  • Nascar Rule: Information about campaign contributions can be found online but it is a cumbersom process. Those seeking office should be required to clearly advertise who is making contributions to their campaign. Individual donors may need to be shielded for privacy reasons but their employer/group affiliation will be tracked.
  • Protect Water Supplies: Ensure the safety from contamination of watersheds nationwide. Increase oversight and enforcement efforts to prevent new contamination while identifying and addressing current pollution.
  • Reduce Taxes: Reduce taxes for both small businesses and large corporations. The end goal is to make sure that no business pays more than 15% income tax along with reductions in payroll taxes.
  • Improve Infrastructure: Maintenance of our infrastructure is critical to business health. Projects to improve infrastructure provides jobs and ensures that the businesses of today and tomorrow have a transportation network conducive to commerce.
