McVay's campaign website highlighted the following issues:[6]

Jobs, Regulation, Favoritism

Excerpt: "I will level the playing field between the big companies with in house lawyers and accountants and small businesses without the overhead budget to fund these departments full time and comply with politically motivated regulatory nonsense. We need real jobs that create real wealth for the people of Delaware, not make-work jobs circumventing red tape. We need a regulatory environment that encourages hiring, not firing. Most importantly, we need to STOP MAKING THINGS WORSE!"

Education

Excerpt: "What we need to do is stand up for teachers in the classroom. We need less administrators in charge of regulatory compliance and more teachers in charge of educational brilliance. We need to give teachers the freedom to teach and the accountability to recognize their success. We need to expand the network of charter schools as experiments in education to help develop techniques to better serve those our public education system is leaving behind."

Open, Honest, Accessible Government

Excerpt: "The time I am not in the legislature, I will be devoted to working with my constituents to keep them informed of what is happening. I will be meeting with other legislators, executive agencies, and Delawareans to learn about the issues facing our State and work out solutions that protect our freedoms. I will be investigating the true motives of every bill which "must" pass before I let it sail through the General Assembly without a fight."
