Campaign themes
2016
Fischman's campaign website highlighted the following issues:[7]
Healthcare
- Excerpt: "Access to health insurance would enable more healthy Tennesseans to enter the workforce, give them the opportunity to increase their earnings and step off of government assistance, and share their innovative and creative ideas to not only better our region, but make our nation more competitive in a global market."
Education
- Excerpt: "I pledge my vote in Nashville to ensure your current tax dollars are not spent on vouchers or a private virtual school, but instead on Tennessee’s public schools."
Opportunity
- Excerpt: "Investing the State’s money in opportunities that would create jobs with competitive salaries in Washington County, as well as across the state, would make Tennessee shine across the nation."
Equality
- Excerpt: "It’s time we celebrate our differences and recognize our sameness so we can all live harmoniously together."
2012
Fischman stated, "The present government of Tennessee, and the legislation that has been introduced over the past two years, is an embarrassment. It is time for a change, and I am one of the persons to make that change. I will take a progressive stand and, if elected, will help move this state back, or should I say forward, into the 21st Century."[8]
