Liddell and Philip Dieser's campaign website highlighted the following campaign themes:[8]
The economy:
- Excerpt: "As family men, we know the everyday struggles of going to work daily and supporting our families. Everywhere we go, people tell us about choosing between paying their mortgage or paying their taxes, food, fuel, electricity or water bills. College students complain about obtaining a good education but, not being able to find jobs. Elderly citizens are stressed about healthcare and not able to afford their vital medications. Teachers are distracted and suffering because they are working without contracts which causes day-to-day uncertainty about their employment. Moreover, our children are in need of a stable education system with enhanced curriculums, fully functioning buildings, and better accountability of school funding."
