Campaign themes
Orrall's website highlights the following campaign themes:[3]
Jobs and the Economy
- Excerpt:"I support lower taxes, hiring incentives, and the reduction of oppressive regulations."

Education
- Excerpt:"In order to inspire underperforming students, we need to partner with small businesses and retirees to mentor students and encourage community involvement in school initiatives."
Government Accountability
- Excerpt:"I believe we should elect legislators who will serve the public for the sake of solving the problems we are facing. I will not take gas travel stipends or a pension."
Immigration
