The following issues were listed on Kinzinger's campaign website. For a full list of campaign themes, click here.

Renew America: I believe America is the greatest country on earth. Our nation has given more people the chance to work hard and achieve their dreams than any other in human history and is still the best hope for those who want to make better lives for themselves and their families. But achieving the American Dream is becoming harder and harder for too many.

Economy: Returning our economy to its full strength must be at the heart of everything we do. An economy running at full force is what drives the American dream; it makes it possible to secure a steady income, achieve a quality education, get ahead, and provide our families and future generations with more opportunity than we were given.

Fiscal Restraint: Americans want a limited government that protects the most vulnerable while spending within its means. Unfortunately, our current government continues to spend more than it takes in, heaping trillions of dollars onto future generations and weakening America from the inside out. In order to build the country Americans deserve and ensure we pass future generations a strong and secure nation, we must rein in our spending and tackle our debt.

Healthcare: Americans are already feeling the pain of the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare, and are asking for relief. Families deserve better than reform that raises costs and limits options, which is why I’ve voted over 40 times to repeal, defund, or delay this law from taking effect.

National Defense, Homeland Security, and Immigration: Countless American men and women have put their lives on the line, with many making the ultimate sacrifice, so that we may enjoy the liberties and freedoms we hold dear; it’s our responsibility to ensure we carry this torch, and hand our kids and grandkids a strong and secure nation with the same advantages we were given.[165]
