Allen's website highlighted the following campaign themes:[15]

Second Amendment

Excerpt: "The ‘Right to Bear Arms’ is one of the most fundamental and important rights in the Constitution and needs to be protected. As a lifelong member of the NRA, I cherish this right and will fight each and every day to protect and uphold the 2nd Amendment."

Budget/Spending

Excerpt: "Washington does not have a revenue problem; it has a spending problem. The spending-addicted politicians in Washington are doing nothing to solve it. Upon being elected to Congress, I’ll immediately push for a Balanced Budget Amendment that will force Washington to tighten its belt and reign in wasteful spending."

Energy

Excerpt: "As the demand for energy grows greater, our resources remain stagnant. For too long, America has relied on other nations for its energy needs. Now, with instability in the Middle East and an increasing threat from rogue nations like Iran, the harnessing of American energy is more important than ever before. If elected to Congress, I’ll push for a comprehensive energy plan that includes substantial increases in drilling for American oil."

Agriculture

Excerpt: "Agriculture is the number one industry in Georgia and is vital to ensuring our country has a safe food source. I will fight to ensure that the Farm Bill brought before Congress is responsible and fair. As the son of a farmer, I will fight to ensure our farmers have a voice in Washington and aren’t constrained by big government and countless regulations."

Defense & Homeland Security

Excerpt: "America has the greatest military in world history and I believe we must do everything possible to make sure this continues. We must provide our troops with the necessary funding to do their jobs and protect the lives of our citizens and allies."

Education

Excerpt: "For too long, the federal government has employed a ‘one size fits all’ approach to education in America. I believe that decisions involving the education of our children should be made by parents and officials on the local level – not bureaucrats in Washington, D.C.. I will fight to restore as much local control as possible so that parents – not Washington politicians – are deciding the future of our children."

Healthcare

Excerpt: "In 2010, the Democrats in Congress rammed through Obamacare, hurting our senior citizens by slashing billions from Medicare, decreasing the quality of healthcare and, most disturbingly, putting Washington bureaucrats between patients and doctors. It’s the wrong approach to healthcare and it needs to be stopped. I’ll immediately join the fight to repeal Obamacare and push for market-driven reforms rather than more big government solutions."
