Randy Hunt sets out key issues for campaign

Press Release

"Bullet List" outlines key issues for state rep race

Randy Hunt says job creation tops the list

East Sandwich, MA - May 19, 2010 - Candidate for the 5th Barnstable District state representative seat, Randy Hunt, outlined the key issues facing the district and commonwealth. "Job creation is at the top of the list," Hunt said. "The most helpful things the state can do to boost job creation are to reduce the burdens on businesses, uncomplicate the myriad filings and regulations, and to lower taxes and fees."

Other issues on Hunt's "Bullet List" include raising the priority of local aid to towns and cities, following through on the work of the OxyContin and Heroin Commission, bringing back honest debate by rebalancing our two-party system, and focusing on excellent constituent services.

The Bullet List

Jobs: Jobs in the private sector on Cape Cod are almost exclusively generated by small businesses. Reduce burdens on small business owners. I'm a small business owner. Let us invest, hire, grow and prosper. Click here for a recap of our Small Business Owners' Summit.
Local aid to towns and cities: Cuts by the state in aid to towns and cities force layoffs of firefighters, police, teachers and other municipal employees. Raise the priority of local aid on Beacon Hill. Stop using it to sop up red ink caused by unnecessary spending.
OxyContin and heroin abuse: Illegal sale and use of prescription medicines and heroin affects people in all age groups and is connected to a majority of thefts and burglaries prosecuted on the Cape. I will work to implement the recommendations of the OxyContin and Heroin Commission. See the Commission's report here.
Honest debate: One party control of the commonwealth's House, Senate and Governorship has allowed a relative few to consolidate power and effectively eliminate all meaningful debate. Legislation is passed or defeated in the Speaker's backroom. A vote for me is a vote against the current, corrupt system.
Constituent services: As a certified public accountant, providing constituent services is how I make a living. Going to battle for you to resolve an IRS issue is very similar to dealing with state agencies. I will listen to you, work with you to resolve issues, and stay connected to the district.

This campaign is not about me. It's about you. My record of working on issues that matter and with people from across the political spectrum is clear. Learn more about the issues and my candidacy at www.ElectRandyHunt.com. I respectfully ask for your vote on Tuesday, November 2^nd.
