Rosson's website highlighted the following campaign themes:[4]

  • Excerpt: "I believe in the US Constitution as it was written and as for the Second Amendment I was born with the right to keep and bear arms non-limiting. I have the right to protect myself, my family, my property, my state, and my nation against those who would do us harm including an out of control tyrant government."
  • Excerpt: "I will help get industries with good paying jobs in Montgomery, Polk, and northern Sevier instead of the Delta Region."
  • Excerpt: "I am a supporter of home school and a voucher program for school choice. The best education should not be determined by one that has been there for a hundred years that everyone in your family went too. It should be determined by the best overall education and the only way to do that is with school choice."
  • Excerpt: "I will work to end taxes on resale items including used vehicles without raising taxes elsewhere. Those taxes are targeted directly at low income citizens. The same people that our elected officials claim to be working for, are the same people they are squeezing for more taxes so they can waste."
  • Excerpt: "I will work to defund the Arkansas Insurance Commission. That department works for the insurance companies not the citizens that pay their salaries. They do work very hard at trying to make you feel good about getting ripped off by the insurance companies."
