Nash's campaign website highlighted the following issues:[9]

The Economy

Excerpt: "We are drowning in a sea of debt. People and businesses are leaving Minnesota to find relief from the crushing tax burden. But what about the rest of us? What about those of us who can’t leave? I’ve seen, firsthand, how families and businesses are being squeezed by the continuous tax burdens placed on us by Governor Dayton. The government needs to stop overspending, overtaxing and over-inflating their budget, and needs to start living within its means. I want to lower taxes and put your money back where it belongs: in your wallet!"

Health Care

Excerpt: "Let’s face it: ObamaCare has been a disaster. Before MNSure, Minnesota’s answer to ObamaCare, Minnesota had some of the best health care in the world. We were ranked third in the nation for providing the best in health coverage. To make health care more affordable for every Minnesotan, we must encourage competition in the marketplace, not burden it with government programs. As we have recently seen with the VA hospital scandal, when the government runs health care, quality suffers, availability suffers, and patients suffer. Our veterans deserve better, and so do all Minnesotans."

Jobs

Excerpt: "Companies are leaving Minnesota because taxes and regulations make it too difficult to do business here. CEO Magazine has rated Minnesota the 34th worst state to do business in for 2014. Our neighboring states are all ranked in the teens. We can’t expect businesses to stay in Minnesota if we continue to overtax them. Making Minnesota more business friendly will bring jobs and prosperity to the state."

Education

Excerpt: "I went to public school, and so do my children. A quality education, grounded in the basics, is vital for our students. Our schools should be controlled at the local level, with direct input from parents, not by distant bureaucrats. We need to focus more on teaching our kids, and less on testing them in an endless barrage of local, state and national tests."

Life

Excerpt: "I believe that life begins at conception and ends at natural death. As the father of six children, I believe that every life is precious, and I will stand up to protect life. I have been rated 100% pro-life by MCCL."

Guns

Excerpt: "I’m a strong supporter of the Second Amendment, and I believe that your Constitutional right to keep and bear arms is worth protecting! I was one of four citizens who testified in 2013 against a disastrous gun control bill in the Minnesota Senate. I promise to continue that fight in the Minnesota House."
