King's website highlighted the following campaign themes:[11]

Job Creation

Excerpt: "Ken knows that government doesn’t create jobs, the hard working people of Texas do. As our next State Representative, he’ll vote to remove burdensome regulations and to cut taxes on employers so they can afford to hire more local workers."

Illegal Immigration

Excerpt: "Ken believes that illegal immigration is bankrupting our state and supports eliminating in-state tuition for illegal immigrants at Texas colleges and universities and denying welfare benefits to illegal immigrants. And to Ken, its common sense to think that employers should be verifying the immigration status of every employee. And as our State Representative, he’ll vote to continue to invest funds into putting boots on the ground to protect our border."

Pro-Life and Pro-Gun

Excerpt: "Ken is 100% pro-life and 100% pro-gun."

Private Property Rights

Excerpt: "Ken believes the best way to solve our water disagreements is through local control rather than one-size-fits-all state mandates. And Ken will do what ever it takes to stop the EPA from using the Endangered Species Act to take land from local property owners."

Public Education

Excerpt: "he believes strongly in the mission of providing the highest quality education for our children. Unfortunately, state government has taken too much control over how this system is funded and what’s being taught in the classroom. The solution is more local control."
