Kennedy's campaign website highlighted the following issues:[12]

  • Excerpt: "We need to increase productivity, livable wages and economic opportunity for all Arizona residents. To do this, our legislature needs to stop wasting time introducing bills that pacify the fringe base of their party and start passing bills that really bring positive change to the people of Arizona."
  • Excerpt: "We need to focus on the issues that result in the largest return on our investment in both economic and social terms. These topics work together and need balance and strong support to be highly successful. Below are the top issues I will be focusing on to help create higher paying jobs, a stronger workforce and build a more resilient Arizona."
