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

Transportation & Equal Access

Excerpt: "An alternate makai route that will bypass Kea'au is needed. And monies from the state fuel tax need to be allocated so that arterial roads are created and everyone has equal access in case of emergencies."

Equal Access to Basic Medical Care

Excerpt: "I support the development of a medical facility in Pahoa based on the Waianae Health Center concept as well as the construction of a new community library, with the current Pahoa library being turned over the Pahoa schools."

Equal Access to Basic Education

Excerpt: "Our legislators need to band together to ensure that rural schools' basic needs are met before allocating funds based on the number of students at a school. And charter schools remain severely under-funded."

Equal Access to the World's Information Superhighway

Excerpt: "High-speed internet access is a basic need in the 21st Century. Parts of lower Puna have no cell-phone coverage, much less any internet service. These issues need to be addressed on a state as well as county level."

Equal Access to Sanitary Public Beaches

Excerpt: "I advocate public/private partnerships and government incentives to pursue these basic needs for Puna residents. Puna's public should have equal access to education and emergency services, including electronic accessibility. I will do everything in my power as the District 4 representative in the State House to make such access a reality."

Agriculture & GMOs

Excerpt: "It is my position that regulation of GMO crops on a federal level is required to ensure proper monitoring and uniformity. Farmers need to be equally regulated."

Community Mediation

Excerpt: "Mediation on a community level should be freely available. A fully functioning ombudsman office should be created for the district so that monies remain in the neighborhood instead of being used to hire lawyers. I believe in mediation before disputes escalate into crimes and advocate the creation of neighborhood boards or mediation grants."
