Bennett's website highlighted the following campaign themes:[1]
Economic Development
- Excerpt: "If elected as your Assemblymember, I will work tirelessly to make California a business friendly state; reducing regulation, taxes and fees which will attract more businesses and together we will make the 56th district a very desirable place to do business. I will further work to make the 56th district a more desirable place for businesses and families not only to stay, but also come here."
Public Safety
- Excerpt: "The condition of our economy has a significant effect on our public safety. I will make sure our police and fire departments have everything needed to provide complete services, regardless of the severity. In addition, I will work to ensure that our economic development focus's on creating jobs, which will put more people to work instead of committing crimes."
Veterans
- Excerpt: "The first thing that we need to do is make sure our county and state VA services personnel are fully involved in the separation process that our servicemen and women are supposed to be provided prior to leaving the military."
