Hurley's campaign website listed the following issues:[16]

Providing Tax Relief

Excerpt: "Last year, the State of Illinois balanced its budget using a massive, temporary tax increase on individuals and businesses. With so many families struggling to make ends meet, this was an irresponsible time to impose any additional burden on the taxpayers."

Business Development & Job Creation

Excerpt: "Attracting new businesses and creating jobs should be a top priority for all levels of Government."

Fiscal Responsibility Starts in Springfield

Excerpt: "Across the country, families everywhere are tightening their belts. Our elected officials should lead by example and share the burden of our financial crisis."

Reforming the Budget Process

Excerpt: "State Government must operate within its means."

Restoring Trust in Government

Excerpt: "As an Illinois taxpayer, I am fed up and sick of self-serving politicians who have repeatedly abused our trust and misused our tax dollars."

Strengthening Our Schools

Excerpt: "As a mother of three children, I understand the important role that schools play in any community. If elected, I will do everything in my power to ensure that the State properly funds education."
