Bell's campaign website lists the following issues:

• "The need for good paying jobs is the most important issue facing our communities. I have two daughters who I hope can someday raise my grandchildren in this area. Without major changes in current tax policies and regulations it will continue to be difficult to attract new businesses or for our existing businesses to add new jobs."
