Darby's website highlighted the following campaign themes:[9]

Budget Transparency

Excerpt: "As a member of the committee that sets the budget for the state, [Darby is] focused on meeting the basic needs of the people of Texas and on demanding that government agencies live within their means."

Champion For Our Schools

Excerpt: "Since entering the Legislature, [Darby's] focus has been on local control for schools and on student performance, not overburdening standardized tests and state government bureaucracy."

Water

Excerpt: "State government must be a positive resource, helping us plan for our future and where possible aid water resource development so that we can keep water rates affordable. It must not, however, create more regulatory barriers that prevent West Texans from solving West Texas problems."

Economic Development

Excerpt: "Representative Darby is a strong fiscal conservative and a business owner, who believes that keeping taxes low, maintaining a predictable regulatory environment and a fair court system are the keys to keeping the Texas economy strong."

Transportation

Excerpt: "[Darby] opposes more debt and tollroads as the solution to our transportation problems and favors a "pay as you go" system that puts transportation as a constitutional priority for state government."
