Hilgers' website highlighted the following campaign themes:[14]
Helping Us Keep More of Our Own Money: Reduce Government Spending and Lower Taxes
Excerpt: "Just reducing spending is not enough--we have to take those savings and give them back to taxpayers. Our neighbors and families need to keep more of their hard-earned money so that they can pay for the needs of their children, save for the future, give to charitable organizations, or spend in any way that they see fit. As your next state senator, I will work to ensure that reductions in spending go back to your pocket."
Helping Us Keep More of Our Own Money: Attack High Healthcare Costs
Excerpt: "While the U.S. Congress works to replace ObamaCare, Nebraska legislators can do much to help encourage innovation in the marketplace for medical services. I support efforts to lower the cost of care and help increase access to needed medical services to provide real relief for Nebraska families."
Strengthening Our Community's Long-Term Foundation: Education
Excerpt: "Nebraska’s local schools have a strong record of academic achievement--and our people have an equally strong record of support for our schools. The state has a responsibility to ensure that the school aid formula is fair, with an emphasis on accountability and transparency. "
Strengthening Our Community's Long-Term Foundation: Transportation Infrastructure
Excerpt: "Providing for a reliable, safe transportation infrastructure is a core responsibility of state government. Nebraska, perhaps more than any state, understands the role infrastructure plays in growing the economy and creating jobs. Building and maintaining quality roads supports trade and neighborhood growth while creating jobs. State government must take its commitment to transportation infrastructure seriously."
Building A Just Society: A Culture Of Life
Excerpt: "A just society protects innocent life and defends those without a voice. I believe that we need a culture that respects and protects innocent life, from the unborn to the mentally ill. As your next state senator I will work with others to build a just society."
