Kwan's campaign website highlighted the following issues:[7]

Economic Development

Excerpt: "By promoting education and skills training, we can empower our communities. By increasing the minimum wage and strengthening the middle class, we create a community that can better provide for itself and for others. A strong economic plan lays out a way to live within our means while investing in our future generations. Investing in education and promoting strong family values, safe neighborhoods, and clean streets is the pathway to developing a sense of pride and a future of hard working Americans."

Small Businesses

Excerpt: "Small businesses may not generate the money that larger businesses do, but they are a major component and contributor to the strength of local economies. Small businesses not only provide employment opportunities, they also provide a brighter future in the communities they serve. They allow for self-sufficiency and peace of mind when we know where our products are coming from."

Diversify the Economy

Excerpt: "Diversifying our economy is important to our future. Promoting a broad range of sectors gives us options and opportunity, and will ensure a sustainable economy."

I stand for Public Education

Excerpt: "As an educator, I believe in real solutions to financial issues, such as providing funding to public education vs. private enterprises."

Seniors are the fastest growing age group in Utah

Excerpt: "This creates an increase in disability rates and the need for government funding for seniors, such as Medicaid."
