Campaign themes

Ross' website highlighted the following campaign themes:[5]

Taxes

  • Excerpt: "The people of the commonwealth have already spoken, lower our taxes. The legislature must rollback the sales and income tax to lower the burden on working families."

Jobs and Economic Growth

  • Excerpt: "I believe the best way to stimulate our sluggish economy and increase jobs are to take another look at our present regulations."

Healthcare

  • Excerpt: "I support health care changes that are realistic and make health plans accessible to all."

Illegal Immigration

  • Excerpt: "The thought that we should extend instate college tuition to illegal immigrants is ridiculous. I will oppose this and any other “benefit” that might be proposed for illegals."

Restoring Trust in Government

  • Excerpt: "I will continue to support measures to improve ethics and transparency in state government. I am proud to say that I have voted for every measure to make our government open and accessible to all."
