Campaign themes
2014
Bergeson's website highlighted the following campaign themes:
| “ | • Our elders should be able to age in their communities without fear that they will be shipped away from their friends and families to find the long-term care that they need.
• Our rural schools have special needs, but they also have special potential, in particular to prepare students for the jobs which are increasingly present in our area. • Good roads are important to the economic development of our area. We cannot be left behind in transportation funding in Northwest Minnesota. • Our area farmers must be protected from the whims of urban legislators who tend to regulate agriculture from afar. • Our relatively vigorous economy in Northwestern Minnesota is drawing away valuable caregivers in nursing homes, group homes and other caring professions. Wages for caregiving professions must keep up with prevailing norms.[2][3] |
