Campaign website

Thurston’s campaign website stated the following:

MY PROMISE TO YOU: My objective as an elected official is to do my job so well that my constituents can live their lives, raise kids, pursue their careers, enjoy life, and never have to be concerned with the office I have been entrusted with.

MY PLAN: The single most important part of a republic is voting. The Secretary of State is instrumental in redistricting, and I hope to play a role in drawing lines that are fair and logical for the voters. I think gerrymandering is insulting to the public.[9]
