Thompson's campaign website highlighted the following issues:[9]
Education as a keystone investment
Excerpt: "I believe the budget for Education is our most valuable line item. Investments in our children & in re-training adults yield the highest results for repairing our communities & our economy."
Greater healthcare access and affordability
Excerpt: "We have great healthcare professionals but not enough people can afford access to them & not enough is done to prevent serious illness."
Return to ethical and effective government
Excerpt: "We need to impose term limits on our public servants, stop legislators from using government to advance their own gains & vote out those that are primarily interested in their own ambitions and advancement."
Improve infrastructure options
Excerpt: "Return to development guidelines that respect citizen property values and reflect our desire to create a place where people want to live and work."
Career growth and continuity
Excerpt: "Promote economic patriotism & fair trade- buying more locally, from locally-owned businesses & more American-made. Trading with low wage countries who disregard environmental or ethical standards is not free trade."
