Smith's website highlighted the following campaign themes:

Job Creation:

"Iowa needs to be more business friendly to encourage job growth."

Taxes:

"Taxes should not be increased to balance the budget."

State Budget:

"Start requiring that all lines of pork barrel spending have a recorded vote so that it cannot sneak through hidden in a 200 page piece of legislation."

Property Taxes:

"Stop raising property taxes to balance the budge. People should keep more of what they earn because they will save, spend, and invest those additional dollars, promoting freedom and responsibility, raising our standard of living, and benefiting the economy for us all."

Education:

"A strong education system is critical to the long-term success of our community. Education is the foundation upon which our economy, our government, and our community is built. We cannot let that foundation crumble."
