1. State budgets that respect household inflation
Claim: State budgets that respect household inflation.
Reasoning: When grocery and rent inflate, state spending growth should face the same CPI yardstick households use. BLS publishes the public series; cite it before expanding programs.

2. School policy that keeps parents in the loop
Claim: School policy that keeps parents in the loop.
Reasoning: State education codes set the floor for local boards. Demand curriculum transparency and parental notice standards consistent with federal student-privacy expectations.

3. Public safety statutes with teeth
Claim: Public safety statutes with teeth.
Reasoning: Sentencing and jail capacity are state choices with local consequences. Use BJS and FBI series when debating releases and charging so counties are not left holding silent costs.

4. Work and energy, not paperwork theater
Claim: Work and energy, not paperwork theater.
Reasoning: Permitting and energy policy shape whether plants stay and wages grow. Track employment releases and small-business burden research when writing economic bills.
Source: U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, Employment releases
5. Election process transparency
Claim: Election process transparency.
Reasoning: State law sets ID, chain of custody, and canvass rules. Publish procedures early and fund clerks adequately so confidence comes from process, not slogans.
