—Peter Fischer[13]

Fischer's website highlighted the following campaign themes:[14]

Jobs

Excerpt: "One of the keystones of having a strong state is ensuring that everyone who wants a job has an opportunity to get a job. We are a long way from ensuring this, but we are getting closer."

Education

Excerpt: "Education is the key to getting our economy back on track. Without a strong education system, our graduates won’t have the skills they need to fill the jobs that are available."

The Environment

Excerpt: "I am against letting corporations write their own permits that have to be approved by the State. It’s the equivalent of having the fox in charge of the hen house."

Protecting Rights

Excerpt: "I will work as hard today to protect the rights of those who are disadvantaged. Supporting the efforts to address the needs of homeless youth, who often are unable to defend themselves, is also very important to me."

Wedge Issues

Excerpt: "I do not support either of the proposed changes to the Constitution."
