Peterson's campaign website highlighted the following issues:[1]
| “ | For Families, For Farmers, For a Brighter Vision of the Future for ALL of the People of District 22 and North Dakota
For Families: Families need a fair wage structure and a good educational base, access to affordable health care and prescription drugs - all needed to help sustain their efforts and keep families here in North Dakota! For Farmers: Farmers need economic incentives that will help to sustain their families and help young people farm; they need limits on growth of corporate "factory" farming; they need policies that support clean energy alternatives such as wind power and fuels produced from farm crops. For A Brighter Vision of the Future for ALL People: We need sound ethical practices & accountability at all levels of government and business; we need a Commission for Human Rights that will help eliminate discrimination; we need more incentives for our National Guard - but NOT a "back door" draft of our National guard![2] |
