Exum's website highlighted the following campaign themes:[12]
Jobs/Economy
Excerpt: "Tony believes in the HIRE Colorado plan, a plan to give Colorado companies the first crack at state contracts so that we can keep our tax dollars and jobs right here in Colorado, instead of shipping them to other states or overseas."
Education
Excerpt: "Tony is a strong advocate for quality public schools, and will fight against irresponsible cuts to public education and against unfunded mandates at the Capitol. He will continue to be a strong voice to rehire teachers and reduce class sizes in Colorado Springs."
Healthcare
Excerpt: "Tony believes that every Coloradan should have access to high-quality affordable healthcare. That’s why he supports the Colorado Health Exchange – a free market based solution that makes insurance companies compete against each other for your healthcare dollar, driving prices down and driving access and quality up."
Environment
Excerpt: "Tony got a 100% endorsement from Colorado Conservation Voters, and believes strongly in protecting our air and water quality so that our kids have safe drinking water and safe air to breathe."
Seniors
Excerpt: "Tony believes that PERA recipients and those who live on Medicare and Social Security need to be protected, and that we need to honor the promises we made to the greatest generation. He will fight against irresponsible cuts to Medicare and make sure that seniors in our community can live safe, healthy, independent lives, but should have access to safety net services when they need them."
