Hanshaw's website highlighted the following campaign themes:[18]

Incentivize West Virginia Entrepreneurs

Excerpt: "An important part of restoring our local economies is supporting our local business owners and entrepreneurs. We offer benefits and bonuses to large entities that relocate or hang a shingle in our state. I will fight so our own local job creators have the same kind of encouragement."

Local Decisions Made by Local Leaders

Excerpt: "'Home rule' should not just be a pilot program, only available to a set of handpicked cities around the state. I believe we deserve the same respect and right to govern our own district, as enjoyed by the citizens of Charleston, Huntington and Morgantown. I will work to earn that privilege on behalf of our district in the House of Delegates."

Modern Infrastructure

Excerpt: "Companies require connectivity and access through high-speed Internet and mobile service to connect us with customers on the next block, and the next continent. Good fiber optics will allow our businesses to exist and grow in the contemporary marketplace. I will be a voice for developing an infrastructure system that will allow us to conduct business and communicate in the modern world."

Meaningful Education Policy

Excerpt: "I will be supportive and fight for local control of our curriculum, placing an increased emphasis on early childhood education, career preparation and vocational school training – while allowing our school boards to address local problems with local solutions."

Restore our Natural Resource Economy

Excerpt: "Overregulation has obstructed employment, while we have resources waiting to be utilized. With natural resources comes job opportunity, and we can responsibly protect the environment while getting out of the way of economic growth. I will fight for our natural resource industries, taking my experience as an attorney standing up to overregulation from the EPA and WVDEP to defend our coal, agriculture, energy and natural gas industries in the state capitol."
