Campaign themes
Schober's website highlighted the following campaign themes:
Jobs and Economic Development
- Excerpt: "With the easy access afforded by its proximity to Route 2, we could easily revitalize the area by retrofitting our vacant factories to accommodate high-tech and other startup companies and create hundreds of new well-paying jobs."
Healthcare Reform
- Excerpt: "All Americans, rich or poor, deserve equal access to the best health care available as well as the right to choose their own doctors and hospitals, not just the ones their insurance companies tell them they can choose."
Eliminating Standards-Based Education
- Excerpt: "The pressure on schools to require all students to meet minimum skill levels is probably the single greatest disservice our government has ever done to our children. Whatever funding schools get now goes almost exclusively towards the core subjects and remedial education."
