Moyle's campaign website highlighted the following issues:[28]
Reducing our tax burden
Excerpt: "Idaho’s individuals and businesses are paying higher taxes than they should - especially when you look at our surrounding states."
Protecting access to our public lands
Excerpt: "I support keeping these lands open to the public and do not support the sale of these public lands."
Choice in education
Excerpt: "I will work to provide choice in Education and focus on ensuring our Education dollars are spent with accountability."
Protecting private property rights
Excerpt: "I support protecting the private property rights of individuals here in the state of Idaho."
Moyle's website highlighted the following campaign themes:[29]
Small Business Incentive
Excerpt: "I sponsored the Small Employer Incentive Act of 2005 (HB431) which changes the calculation for qualification, which would allow more small businesses to qualify. What this bill does, and what we must continue to do, is create a system that helps small businesses grow and provide good jobs."
Eminent Domain
Excerpt: "I worked on, and supported HB525 which amends Idaho’s Local Land Use Planning Act. It protects pre-existing property rights and future development from a condemning authority. Property owners must have land protected from government, and never have the fear that it can be taken away."
Personal Property Tax Elimination
Excerpt: "We must provide our businesses with incentives to allow them to grow, provide good wages for employees and build our local economy."
GARVEE
Excerpt: "I voted to provide funding for better and safer roads and highways through GARVEE bonding authority in HB657. This bill would provide $134 million dollars to improve our Treasure Valley roads and interstate, and make this improvement before costs continue to increase for materials, fuel and labor."
Air Quality
Excerpt: "I voted to improve our air quality by supporting HB586, which provides for a vehicle inspection and maintenance program. I felt that is was [sic] important to protect the Treasure Valley’s air quality and keep our valley clean. HB586 provides exemptions to farmers and heavy machinery. "
Anti-bullying bill
In April 2011, Moyle expected a stalled bill that would have strengthened the state’s anti-bullying law to come back in some form next session. Moyle said there were a few problems with the bill this time around that prevented it from getting a vote in the House.
“The title was wrong on the bill, it didn’t fit what was in the bill," said Moyle. "There was also a word that needed to be changed down at the bottom of the bill.”
Moyle said there was talk of sending it back to committee to make the necessary fixes, but the sponsors of the bill didn’t want to do that.
“There was a lot of controversy around that bill," said Moyle. "Some people were against it and some people really liked it. But, in the end, if the title is no good and a word needs fixing, the bill is no good. I expect you’ll see it again next year and there will be some touch-ups, the title will be fixed obviously, and it will be a better bill.”[30]
