Mitchell's campaign website highlighted the following issues:[9]
Roads and Infrastructure: Tennessee has a $1 billion surplus at the same time we have hundreds of millions of dollars in backlogged projects on our roads and bridges. We should work to draw down that backlog and address needs on our interstates, on our state and U.S. highways, and at key interchanges.
Schools: Tennessee has experimented on our children and teachers in harmful ways, leaving us with excessive testing at the expense of instructional time; turmoil from on-again, off-again state mandates; and poorly funded schools–near the worst in the nation. We must listen to our teachers, enhance local control, and adequately fund our schools.
Health Care: Tennessee has sent more than $2 billion to other states to provide health insurance for the lower income working families. Instead, that money could have gone to insure more than 330,000 Tennesseans under Governor Haslam’s Insure Tennessee proposal. It’s past time to take advantage of the Governor’s work and pass Insure Tennessee.
Local Economy: Nashville is thriving, giving our communities the opportunity to control the way they grow. However, state interference in local issues has cost us millions of dollars and affected our ability to control our future. We must let Nashville control Nashville and not relinquish that control to legislators from other parts of the state[10]
