Parrish’s website highlighted the following campaign themes:[4]
- Education
Excerpt: "As your delegate, I will fight for to return school control to local communities and, more importantly, to the parents within those communities. The government's attempt to centralize our education has been costly and ineffective.

I will also defend the right of families who choose to homeschool their children."
