Campaign themes

2016

Armbrust's website highlighted the following campaign themes:[1]

Champion for Community

  • Excerpt: "As a lifelong resident of the Elkhorn and LD39 area there is no one running for Legislature that is more invested in their community than myself. Simply put, this is my home and I care deeply about the people of this area. I promise I will work to ensure that all voices in our unique district are heard in the halls of the capitol."

Small Business Proponent

  • Excerpt: "I deeply care about the success of the small business owners of LD39. Running a small business is not an easy task. I know this as I have been a part of a small family farm business since I was born. I plan on being a strong and steady voice for small and mid-sized businesses when I am elected to the State Legislature."

Economic Efficiency

  • Excerpt: "As a farmer I have always worked to ensure that I use my time and resources as effectively as possible. In the Legislature I will work to accomplish the same goal by ensuring that our focuses are on target. My priorities in this district will be to prioritize necessity versus nicety while ensuring that we are also fair and balanced."

Local Control Local Voice

  • Excerpt: "Corn grows from the ground up, not the tassel down. Community is also built at the ground level. It is imperative that we maintain local control and have local representation in local government. When we have strong local communities, we in turn see a stronger region, state and country. I will be a strong local voice for LD39 and local decisions."

Bringing Both Sides Together

  • Excerpt: "Today there is too much negative partisan bickering that is just a waste of time and taxpayer dollars. I am running to get things done. As a voice in the middle I will make it priority to be the mediator needed to bring a voice of reason to the table. I plan to help move important conversations forward, instead of holding important issues back through typical partisan politics."
