Livingston's campaign website highlighted the following campaign themes:[15]

Protecting The Taxpayers

Excerpt: "There are those who believe that the only way to improve Arizona’s long-term economic outlook is through tax increases. I couldn’t disagree more. While the majority of Arizonans had to cut their budgets and tighten their belts, big-spending politicians at the State Capitol were neglecting their responsibilities and mortgaging our state buildings to pay the bills."

Small Business

Excerpt: "Small businesses are responsible for nearly two-thirds of job growth in this country. As a small business owner, I understand how important it is to provide a healthy business climate in Arizona."

Education

Excerpt: "As the husband of a public school teacher, I understand all too well the incredible burdens placed on our educators by bureaucrats. I believe our public education system is top-heavy, with too many districts and too many administrators. We must treat our teachers as professionals and insist that at least 65% of all education dollars are used in the classroom."

Healthcare

Excerpt: "Two years ago, our nation and our Constitution were dealt a terrible blow when Barack Obama signed his “Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act”. Arizona’s Republican Party recently called ObamaCare, “…the most intrusive, most costly, freedom crushing entitlement program in our country’s history.” I could not agree more."

Second Amendment

Excerpt: "I will support and defend the rights of all law-abiding Arizonans to own and carry firearms. Our citizens have a constitutional right to protect themselves and their families."

Medicaid expansion lawsuit

David Livingston was one of the 36 Republican members of the Arizona State Legislature who signed onto a lawsuit brought by the Goldwater Institute in September 2013 against Arizona Governor Jan Brewer (R) over the expansion of Medicaid in Arizona under provisions of the Affordable Care Act.[16] Brewer announced her support for Medicaid expansion in Arizona in 2013, and by June of that year the legislature passed a bill expanding Medicaid in the state .[17] In September 2013, the Goldwater Institute, a conservative think tank, filed a lawsuit seeking to block the law's implementation. They argued that the law contained a tax, and its implementation under the control of the executive branch violated state laws enforcing the separation of powers.[16] In 2015, a Maricopa County Superior Court judge ruled against the 36 Republican lawmakers and the Goldwater Institute, saying that the law contained an assessment, not a tax. The Arizona Court of Appeals upheld the Superior Court's 2015 ruling on March 16, 2017.[18]
