On their shared website, Bengivenga and Lisa Goldhamer listed the following campaign themes:[7]
- Real Property Tax Reform:
- Excerpt: "Our opponents continue to be a roadblock to middle-class property tax reform while families and seniors continue to pay the highest property taxes in the nation. It's time to end the partisan gridlock in Trenton and work with Governor Christie to give taxpayers the relief they deserve."
- Grow Jobs in Central Jersey:
- Excerpt: "We will create a blueprint to grow jobs in Central Jersey by cutting red tape, making business taxes competitive with neighboring states and providing incentives for companies that create good-paying jobs."
- End Politics as Usual in Trenton:
- Excerpt: "Trenton insiders shouldn't get rich while they take more money out of the pockets of middle-class taxpayers. We will propose term limits, stop politicians from making six-figure salaries off of multiple taxpayer funded jobs and end retirement benefits for all elected officials."
