Cook's campaign website highlighted the following issues:[8]
Economic Growth & Jobs:
We need pro-growth policies and we need to attract more employers from the high-tax states around us
Secure Borders and the Rule of Law
Opposed to amnesty and for real border security to stop the flow of drugs, guns, and crime that cross our border
Standing for Families, not Special Interests
Strong families make a strong Arizona, so when we vote on legislation the question has to be 'Will this be good for Arizona’s families?'
Supports School Choice for Parents and more $$$ to Classrooms and Teachers
While much is made of how much we spend on education, we also need to do a better job ensuring that what we do spend is better spent in the classroom, training and retaining quality teachers, and giving our kids the tools they need to succeed.
Opposes Common Core, supports high education standards, designed by Arizona teachers and parents
If there are good parts of Common Core, let’s keep them, but only as part of a quality program created by Arizona teachers and parents, not bureaucrats in Washington, D.C.[9]
