Campaign themes
2014
Hauser's Facebook page highlighted the following campaign themes:
| “ | Economics: My top priority is simple: Assist in cultivating the strongest communities possible, building from the ground up to ensure the next generation has a stronger more vibrant place to call home. Reinvesting in main street, helping build stronger schools, fostering healthy neighborhoods, repairing and maintaining healthy roads and highways, and providing for a better quality of life are my main focuses. This means helping drive down the cost of living which increases each citizen’s buying power. Finally, I want to work to bring down costs at the state level and save the taxpayers in the long run. There is no better way to stimulate the local economy than by providing citizens with buying power. In the end you and I are the ones who support local businesses.
Education: Local influence in the process equals better results for our classrooms. Who knows the classrooms in our community better than the teachers that are in them every day? Teachers are being pressured into doing more and more with fewer and fewer resources. This business model is not sustainable in the long run. The quality of today’s education will directly effect the quality of tomorrow’s community. If we fail to properly educate the next generation it will have a negative effect on everyone. The goal is simple; make sure all students are career or job ready by the time they reach 12th grade, based on what route they wish to pursue. Environment: All citizens have a responsibility to be good stewards of Michigan’s natural resources. Our state has an abundance of freshwater in the Great Lakes and in our inland lakes and waterways. I will fight against threats to our clean water, which is essential to our children’s health, Michigan’s economy, and our identity as the Great Lakes State. Waterways also bring tourism dollars into the state. More importantly Michigan is the state we call home, I want to ensure it is the cleanest and healthiest it can be. Michigan has a great opportunity to become a leader in renewables and pursue the best solutions for powering Michigan’s future.[3][4] |
