Campaign themes

2014

Heydenfeldt's campaign website listed the following issues:

“	Jobs & The Economy: "There is a general feeling around town and across America that our paychecks are not going as far for us as they once did. Rent/housing, education, gas, groceries, energy, and other retail items seem to be more expensive than ever before. Many Americans are experiencing very high costs of living across the US." Trade Deficit: "Unfortunately, we consume more than we produce in the US. America imports more products than we export. It should be the other way around. This is a serious problem and it wasn’t always this way. America used to be the global leader in manufacturing and was a net exporter of goods." Bailouts: "During the economic crisis of 2007-2008, some financial institutions failed while the government bailed out select others. We were told that our banking system and monetary system was ‘too big to fail’ and thus, needed to be bailed out by the American taxpayer. Regardless, of whether the bailouts have been repaid or not, private corporations should not be allowed to receive public bailouts." Federal Reserve: "The $65-$85 billion dollar per month quantitative easing (QE) bond buying program, zero interest rate policy, and lack of transparency from the privately-owned US central bank is at the very least concerning and at most alarming." War & Foreign Entanglements: "The US has the strongest military on the globe, however we also need to stay out of foreign conflicts and not intervene. Although the US is the world’s superpower, we must not involve ourselves in foreign entanglements, as we have challenging issues to address here at home."	”
