Allen Weh:
Stop growing government and writing checks
The combination of excessive government spending, high taxes and irrational regulation kills jobs and makes us less competitive. As Governor I will stand up for small business and everyday
New Mexicans by letting them keep more of the money they earn and encouraging them to re-invest it here in New Mexico. We'll keep the government lean and efficient, cut out waste and get government out of the way of private business.
The Richardson-Denish administration has been growing government and writing checks for almost eight years, and soon we'll all have to pay their bills.
Prosperity and economic strength don't come from the politicians in Santa Fe; they come from private businesses, and from people like you and me. As Governor, I will aggressively pursue an agenda that reflects those beliefs.

Charlie Baker:
Getting MA Back in Business: streamline rules; reduce taxes
Creating jobs and stimulating the economy: "Getting Massachusetts Back in Business" is my plan to create new jobs in Massachusetts by reducing business taxes, streamlining the regulatory structure of state government, and lowering the cost of doing
business in Massachusetts. Businesses need a business climate that is more predictable, competitive, and stable to provide employers the confidence to hire people in Massachusetts and expand here, instead of in our lower-cost competitor states.
Unless we shake up the status quo, Massachusetts faces another jobless recovery like the past decade. Unemployment in Massachusetts is the highest rate in 34 years, with roughly 320,000 people out of work. I will push policies that will get people back
to work quickly by lessening the tax and regulatory burden on employers
We can drive this recovery, but we can't sit back and wait for it to happen. Getting Massachusetts Back in Business is my plan to make this happen.

Dan Malloy:
As mayor, expanded services within budget
As Mayor of Stamford, I kept growth in spending on the city's budget to less than the rate of inflation during a time when population grew and city services were expanded. We were able to do this by responsible, realistic budgeting that focused
on the city's highest priorities and most productive investments. As Governor, I would bring this same sensibility to state budgeting. I will focus our attention on the problem and our resources on the right solutions.

Cary Kennedy:
Don't invest state dollars in risky stock portfolios
The Treasurer's office is important--critically important in an economic downturn--and Cary has proven that she takes her responsibilities seriously. She kept the state out of investments tied to the subprime market, rejected proposals to invest
state dollars in risky stock portfolios, and seven months before the banking crisis hit, in a remarkably prescient move, she diversified a 33% chunk of Colorado's investment pool that had been in the hands of one bank.
Under Cary's diligent watch, our state's investments have maintained positive earnings and posted a 3% gain this last fiscal year.
She has protected Colorado's strong credit at a time other states have been downgraded--proof that her sound financial management and careful planning make all the difference.
