Horne's campaign website listed the following campaign themes for 2014:
| “ | Financial Stewardship
JCPS has a $1.3 billion budget. I believe that’s enough. As an attorney and business owner, I have the right experience to oversee this budget. We need to get more resources into the classroom . . . now! A Commitment to Public Schools For Louisville to be a truly great city, we need to have first-class schools. No excuses. Our city needs people who will get the job done! A Parent's Passion I’m the parent of JCPS children, and I’ve been involved in our schools for years. I want all our children to succeed and in the process make our schools great. With your help, we can.[4] |

In response to a survey published by WLKY, Horne answered several questions outlining her campaign themes and vision.
| “ | List 3 reasons voters should elect you: 1. Financial Stewardship. The school budget is $1.3 billion. As a business owner and attorney I have the right experience to oversee this budget. 2. Commitment to First Class Schools. No excuses. To be a truly great city we must have great schools. We need to address the achievement gap honestly and urgently. All our children should reach their full potential. The school board can help provide that opportunity. 3. Achieve Success for All Our Children. That’s a JCPS parent’s passion. I am a parent, not a politician, who has worked for years to support teachers and students in the classroom and help provide the resources they need. I can do even more on the school board. What are the most important issues facing JCPS? There are about 101,000 of them. That’s the 2014 enrollment of our schools. Slogans and the latest educational fads pale beside the importance of each and every one of those children. Our “Vision 2015” strategic plan lays out our priorities for JCPS. Key among them are: (1) We need to care for our students as if they were our own; (2) What happens in the classroom matters most; (3) High quality teaching is the most powerful tool for helping students reach high standards; and (4) Leadership and innovation are essential to prepare students for their future. New school board members elected now need to turn these solid ideas into real action. I will. What is your vision for education in this community? My vision is personal, built on caring for each student as though they were my own family. Policy-level vision is the consensus of all JCPS stakeholders, stated in the “Vision 2015” strategic plan adopted by the board in May, 2012. Follow-through is essential with our new school board. That will be the key to crucial long-term goals like “55,000 Degrees.” Even so, day-in, day-out, the fundamental vision is for each child to reach their full potential and for the board to nourish the environment, and particularly the teachers, needed to accomplish that. An unwavering focus on the student keeps the board steady amid all the contending groups and legislated programs.[4] |
