Campaign themes
2014
Autry's campaign website highlighted the following issues:[2]
Pro-life
- Excerpt: "The unborn child has a fundamental individual right to life which cannot be infringed. We love children and strongly believe that they are our future. Teach them well and let them lead the way. I oppose using public revenues to promote or perform abortion or fund organizations which perform or advocate it and will not fund or subsidize health care which includes abortion coverage."
 
Budget and Economy
- Excerpt: "I strongly believe in living within your means. I feel as if the government were to treat the Nations budget more like they would their own account, we'd have much less waste in spending, lower taxes and more jobs. I know I would."
 
Civil Rights
- Excerpt: "All men and women are created equal and should be treated fairly and with respect as a human being. I support a Constitutional amendment defining marriage as the union of one man and one woman. I will not judge others who believe differently and will not hate upon those either."
 
Crime
- Excerpt: "Criminals behind bars cannot harm the general public. I support mandatory prison sentencing for gang crimes, violent or sexual offenses against children, repeat drug dealers, rape, robbery and murder. I support a national registry for convicted child molesters and oppose parole for dangerous or repeat felons, I also believe the courts should have the option of imposing the death penalty in capital murder cases. I agree with most people that the best way to deter crime is to enforce existing laws and hand down tough penalties against anyone who commits a crime with a gun."
 
Jobs
- Excerpt: "I support free market policies that I feel are the surest way to boost employment and create job growth and economic prosperity for all. We need less Gov. regulations and more support for small businesses."
