Jasperse's website highlighted the following campaign themes:[13]

Water

Excerpt: "Water is a critical issue in our state. I will work with the Regional water council’s as they work to develop long-term solutions to our water supply problem."

2nd Amendment

Excerpt: "As a candidate for the 12th district one of the most common questions I am asked is my position on our Second Amendment."

Taxes & Spending

Excerpt: "Some politicians seem to forget that every dollar government spends was first earned by one of us. When times are good and revenues are high, they spend like there is no tomorrow. That is exactly what happened here in Georgia when state government spending grew much faster than our population."

Jobs

Excerpt: "Our region is a natural magnet for job creation because of our location and hard-working people. The majority of our jobs come from locally owned small businesses. Better job opportunities will come when Georgia encourages entrepreneurs to create and grow small businesses."

Education

Excerpt: " We are all aware that our children and adults must have access to quality education if they are going to be able to master those skills and knowledge they need to compete and excel in our ever-changing world."
