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

State Budget

Excerpt: "Texas politicians can no longer use the same budgetary gimmicks that we so often deride in our leaders in Washington D.C. Unfortunately, the 82nd Legislature “balanced the budget” by using those gimmicks. We need to put Texas on sound fiscal footing by requiring a zero-based budget so that each department and program has to justify its use every biennium."

Taxes

Excerpt: "I oppose all efforts to implement an income tax here in the Lone Star State. I will also seek to substantially reduce if not eliminate the Margins Tax which places a heavy burden on our most vital and effective job creators: small businesses and entrepreneurs."

Sanctity Of Life

Excerpt: "I believe that life begins at conception and that life should be protected with the full force of law. We must respect life from conception to natural death."

Education

Excerpt: "As Texans we understand that without properly educating our children, the future prosperity of the state is in jeopardy. That means that funding for education should go to those who need it most – teachers and students in the classroom. I also believe that we should continue to pursue alternate means of educating our children such as charter schools and online learning."

Illegal Immigration

Excerpt: "I believe it is the right and responsibility of Texas to secure its own borders if the federal government does not hold up its end of the responsibility. I also feel that sanctuary cities should not be allowed to sit idly by and ignore the will of the people and the rule of law. There is certainly a detrimental economic effect that comes with illegal immigration, and if Texas is to get its fiscal house in order, stopping the flow of illegal immigration has to be a part of that solution."
