Campaign themes
2014
Trautwein's website highlighted the following campaign themes:[1]
- Family – Life, Marriage & Education
- Excerpt: "I believe that our most fundamental right is the Right to Life, and I am unashamedly an advocate for the unborn. The sanctity of life from conception through the elder years provides the backdrop for an empowered culture which honors the precious gift of our entire existence. Promoting our pro-life values will protect the unborn as well as strengthen our culture and our families."
- Finances – Jobs and Economy
- Excerpt: "But to those who are still unemployed or underemployed those statistics mean nothing. As a fiscal conservative, I will work to help Alabama continue down a pathway of lower taxes and less regulations releasing entrepreneurs and businesses to innovate and hire while increasing wages and incentives for its global workforce. As your State Representative, my goal is to promote an economic climate where all can achieve their dreams through hard work."
- Freedom
- 1st Amendment- Freedom of speech, press, assembly and religion
- 2nd Amendment- Right to bear arms
- 10th Amendment- Powers not granted to the federal government by the Constitution, nor prohibited to the States, are reserved to the States or the people."
- Future
- Excerpt: "Our future is our responsibility. However, we face decisions that will define their future, and so far, Washington policies have hindered our ability to find solutions for our young people. Nevertheless, our actions today will determine their ability to achieve tomorrow."
