Elliott's campaign website highlighted the following issues:

Fair and Sustainable State Budgets

Our state budgets should no longer be balanced on the backs of Hamden’s low income and middle class families. Irresponsible choices by stonewalling politicians have led to cuts in healthcare and education spending, higher property taxes, and no long term plan to fix our budget.

Clean, Democratic Elections

Connecticut’s clean election laws are some of the best in the country, and will allow Josh and his opponent to compete on an equal playing field in campaigns dedicated to the issues, not just fundraising. Fair elections are crucial for a democracy that works for all of us. We need to continue to protect and expand our clean elections laws and keep big money out of politics. We deserve representatives who are accountable to our community, not just the special interests.

Securing Our Economic Future

Families need financial security, whether it’s paid family leave, affordable college, quality jobs, or a secure retirement. Rather than throwing money at large corporations that abandon us, we can instead incentivize young entrepreneurs to grow their businesses here. We need long term solutions, not shortsighted fixes that leave us in the same position year after year.[6]
