As we continue forth with the campaign season, voters all want two things: Answers and Solutions. Understandable. Democracy is all about the educated voter selecting the candidate that best matches his or her own views. It is without question your duty as a voter to know the issues and make an informed choice. But what are the issues that matter most in this election?
Without question, the single most important issue in the coming election is the dire state of the economy. Every single candidate seeking office should be talking about getting people in our community back to work. We should all be advocating lower taxes, allowing more people to regain control over the money they earned. From the day I announced my campaign, I promised to freeze the tax levy, while working towards lasting reductions.
Unfortunately, you are going to see a lot of candidates try to use what are called "wedge" issues, designed solely to form a distinct division among different classes of people and demographics. Why do they take this tactic? Well, I suspect because most of these candidates are on the wrong side of the economic policy. Many are the same folks who supported the failed policies that got us into this mess in the first place. They want to distract the voters from the important issues, because quite frankly they cannot win on those issues.
We deserve better from our candidates. We deserve better from our government. Stay focused and on message.
