Campaign themes
2014
Doering's website highlighted the following campaign themes:[1]
Business
- Excerpt: "Government needs to help businesses grow, not create roadblocks. To do that we need an environment that allows businesses to grow. Schools, colleges, and businesses should work together to supply a skilled workforce and train existing workers."
Education
- Excerpt: "Give school districts a break. The state needs a moratorium on expensive initiatives and unfunded mandates so schools can do what they do best: teach our children, with input from teachers and parents alike."
Families
- Excerpt: "Having raised four children, I know the pressures of tight family budgets. Family values/interests should be a focal part of the legislature's work – including children, parents and grandparents."
