Campaign themes

2016

Lehmann's campaign website highlighted the following issues:

“

Responsible Spending

  • Only the best performing and cost effective programs should be maintained (with rare exception). I believe in "zero-based budgeting," which means justifying a given program from a zero dollar perspective. It re-evaluates and costs all parts of the program to ensure it is meeting the original objectives. All programs should be subject to zero-based budgeting at set intervals, allowing all programs to be reviewed at least every 5 years.

High Quality Education

  • Education is critical to the success and future of our State & Nation. I strongly believe in educational opportunities from the youngest age -- and continuing throughout one's life. Each individual possesses unique abilities and learning skills that need to be positively reinforced. Our educational system should identify these needs and provide opportunities to fully develop them. This is not a one-size-fits-all approach; rather one that maximizes effectiveness. Those who wish to learn should be provided the avenue(s) to do so. Our educational dollars are precious, and should be spent where they yield the highest result.

Efficient Transportation

  • The efficient movement of people and products is essential to a thriving community. A multi-modal transportation system addresses these needs. This includes roads/bridges to handle all types of vehicles, along with public transportation systems that address current and future needs. Reliable revenue streams must be fully dedicated to provide these transportation needs.

Reasonable Government

  • What is the role of government? Answers are as varied as there are people. Most, however, agree there are basic functions of government. These include providing a safe environment in which to live and work (police/fire), basic infrastructure (water/sewer/utilities), strong educational offerings and efficient transportation (see above). Many would also include basic social support for those in need. All other roles need to be supported by the general population.

Veteran Advocate

  • I have many relatives, friends, and associates who also served or are serving. I have nothing but reverence and awe for each and every one of them. We, as a state and nation, owe past and current serving military personnel nothing but the best care and opportunities.[1]
