Dorholt's campaign website highlighted the following issues:

Education

When elected, I will work to maintain our public school system so that our children can have the same quality education that I had when I was a child. I believe that a strong public school system is the key to economic competitiveness and we can not kick the can down the road any longer. Our children are our future and the time to invest in the future is now.

Jobs, Community Development, Economy

Minnesota needs an economy…

where businesses are competitive and innovation is encouraged.

where the permitting process is streamlined and compliance review is straightforward.

where workers are protected in and out of the workplace and receive livable wages.

where companies are rewarded for keeping jobs from going overseas.

Budget

As your State Representative, I will work to pass a budget that provides for our long term needs without mortgaging our children’s future. I will do this by making sure that government spending is effective and equitable, that costs are controlled at the state level so we can provide property tax relief to our struggling communities, businesses, and homeowners.

Energy and the Environment

Supporting energy conservation programs and investing in alternative energy systems

Fully committing to restoring our local waters and native prairie grasses

Using the Clean Water and Legacy funds, not as a credit card, but for their intended purpose

Encouraging forward thinking businesses to locate in Minnesota

Assisting in the formation of community green spaces, local sustainable food and gardening efforts

Equal Rights

As your representative, I promise to work towards a more transparent and equitable judicial system, to support new immigrants as they integrate into our society and to make sure that voting remains accessible to all of our citizens.[10]

Dorholt's website highlighted the following campaign themes:[12]

Education

Excerpt: "I will fully support our institutions of higher education, one of the best investments Minnesota has ever made"

E-12 Education

Excerpt: "Investing in education is the financially smart choice. We invest now or we pay more in the future. It is time to stop borrowing from our children’s future with cheap budget gimmicks that wreak havoc on our school districts and leave them at the mercy of levies."

Higher Education

Excerpt: "An affordable education needs to be accessible to every student who chooses to pursue higher learning. Rising college tuition forces students to choose: food and rent, or books and tuition."

Jobs, Community Development, Economy

Excerpt: "Making Minnesota work will take a team effort. Small businesses in our communities often struggle with regulations, and have difficulty providing quality health insurance to their employees."

Budget

Excerpt: "I will work toward a budget that develops our long-term needs and does not take out a loan on our children’s future."
