Inquirer Editorial: Erickson understands what is vital to the families and individuals of his communities
Ted Erickson understands the core values and necessities of the communities he is representing and promises to make the government work for his communities. After serving as the 26th District State Senator for two terms, Erickson knows the importance of maintaining a stable economy and preserving our environmental resources.

Erickson has served as the Chairman and Vice-Chairman of numerous organizations, including the Public Health and Welfare Committee and Environmental Resources and Energy Committee. Through all his activities, Erickson has been committed to serving his communities and making the 26th Senatorial District the best place for its citizens to succeed in. His leadership qualities and numerous years of experience in both the education and political fields has enabled him to serve as a successful state senator for the past two terms. Can one even compare Mike Farrell's few years of experience to Erickson's multiple years of leadership?

By supporting the growth of small businesses and manufacturing companies, Senator Erickson promotes the creation of jobs to reduce the unemployment rates and to help struggling individuals financially. His primary concern has been to provide a cost-efficient education for children and minimize the tax-paying burden on the citizens. By promoting Educational Improvement Tax Credit Program, Erickson is striving to make college education affordable for students.

In addition, Erickson has prioritized the conservation of nature and the utilization of alternative energy resources, especially wind and solar energy. Erickson's goal has been to get utility companies to produce at least a small percentage of the electricity they produce with wind and solar energy. By supporting the gas drilling at Marcellus Shale, he promoted the production of clean burning fuel and creation of many jobs; in his support for the gas drilling, Erickson stated that it is important “to ensure that our industries are behaving in an environmentally responsible manner.” Compared to Farrell, Erickson has taken a much greater step in preserving our ecosystems and promoting the Going Green campaign.

Vote for someone who knows the system and who will actually fight to make government for you. He has the credentials to be our senator and he knows what values are crucial to the people for 26th District. Choose the right candidate, the man who will actually bring home positive results. Vote for Ted Erickson.
