Spiros' campaign website highlighted the following issues:[12]

Business and Jobs

Excerpt: "We need to continue to cut the red tape, reduce cost, and become a more employer friendly state. I am proud of my bi-partisan approach to co-authoring bills and working hard to keep "Skyward" and hundreds of good paying jobs in Wisconsin."

Wisconsin Industry

Excerpt: "Our area has many different industries; agriculture, manufacturing, Paper and logging to name a few. I would like to see these industries stay solvent and continue to grow and prosper. Often this may mean, less regulation and government interference. I will offer strong support to these industries so that they can remain strong and continue to be a positive reminder of what Wisconsin offers the country. Our next generation deserves the opportunities we have all had and I will do my part to make sure these industries are around for many generations to come."

Gogebic Taconite Mine

Excerpt: "In February 2013 the State Assembly along with the State Senate passed legislation for the application, regulation and oversite of applicants who are interested in Taconite Mining. I voted for this legilation [sic], and believe thatenvironmentally safe. The mine if built has the potential to bring Wisconsinites 3,175 jobs each year for two years. This mine will also bring a total of $20.6 million dollars in state and local tax revenue. This mine will make a 2 billion dollar total economic impact on Wisconsin."

Taxes

Excerpt: "I have never voted for a tax increase, and in the last 7 years our city tax rate has either decreased or remained the same, and the size of our city government, excluding protective services, has declined. As Chairman of the Finance and Budget Committee, my committee and I have taken a hard line on costs and we have not seen our services decline. Having local government experience and understanding shared revenues and budgets, is essential for our small towns and cities. I am proud of the work I have done in Marshfield and now in our state to reduce the tax burden on our residents!"

Healthcare

Excerpt: "I do believe that everyone should be able to afford decent healthcare but I did not support the Obama Affordable Care Act when passed and I do not support it now. I believe that each individual’s health care is personal and private and that the Government has no Constitutional right to mandate, that for the first time in American history, that American’s buy health insurance or face taxation for not doing so. Wisconsin has had a very good healthcare system, and our health care is ranked at the top in the nation."

Spiros' website highlighted the following campaign themes:

"Lower Taxes

More Private Sector Jobs

Controlling Government Spending

Protecting Family Values

Supporting Small Business Owners"
