Kienzler's website highlighted the following campaign themes:[1]
The Economy
- Excerpt: "My commitment to you is to fight to get Connecticut's financial house in order, creating a growth environment for business that help create jobs and economic stability for all of us. My job will be to fight to get our financial house in order and then I will fight to bring Enfield is fair share."
Education
- Excerpt: "The State of Connecticut has been underfunding education in our town by millions each year. It has been estimated that Enfield is underfunded by as much as $11,000,000 annually in education. This must be addressed and we must fight for what is right."
Personal Rights
- Excerpt: "It is clear from Sandy Hook and other tragedies that there is a problem. Unfortunately in their haste to do something, the State Legislature has created a set of laws that fixes nothing.

Service
