Campaign themes
2014
Washington's website highlighted the following campaign themes:[3]
Making College Affordable
- Excerpt: "Once elected I will propose legislation to significantly increase the number of courses that offer CLEP test. By doing so students will be able to take an $80 standardized exam and receive college credits that it would otherwise take a whole semester and thousands of dollars to earn."
Expand Apprenticeship Training
- Excerpt: "As your state representative I will work to close the gap in funding for the college bound vs young people who prefer work-based, learning-by-doing alternatives, that meet the needs of industry in our state. By expanding apprenticeship training we can significantly reduce the high youth unemployment rate and increase economic mobility of those young people who are drifting aimlessly through the formal educational system."
Eliminating Public-Sector Unions
- Excerpt: "As pension liabilities for retired and retiring government workers increase our state will face a budget crisis if we don't reign in spending on public-sector employee benefits packages. As your state representative I wll fight the hard fight to take back the authority that has been taken from the peoples elected representatives and given to union officials, with whom the public has vested no authority."
Negative Income Tax
- Excerpt: "As a conservative Republican I believe the best way to increase government revenue to pay for our entitlement commitments is to expand the tax base without raising taxes."
Universal Housing Allowance Tax Credit
- Excerpt: "As your state representative I will work hard at the state level to eliminate the land use regulations that reduce housing supply and increase housing prices. I also will work to eliminate the unnecessary number of housing programs that exist in our state and replace them with a universal housing allowance program that provides tax credits to families for housing, with the amount determined by the gap between some share of the family's income and the cost of standard housing in the area."
