Dillon's website highlighted the following campaign themes:[6]
Life
- Excerpt: "From conception until death, life is an "unalienable right" (Declaration of Independence) given by God to be protected at all costs."
Bearing Arms
- Excerpt: "The founding fathers believed that it was the duty of all able-bodied men to protect their country from invasion and tyranny at home."
Jobs
- Excerpt: "I believe that with sound economic policies in place, businesses will find that they can thrive in West Virginia. We must cut the total number and severity of regulations, beginning with the onerous regulations imposed by the EPA which are currently killing the coal industry."
Education
- Excerpt: "State and federal overreach must end if education is to become effective once again. Education must be returned to the people in the local states and communities."
Energy and Environment
- Excerpt: "As your delegate to Charleston, I will tell them exactly how badly we need to stand up to the elite in Washington, D.C. Coal production, forestry, and small farm agriculture are essential to the economic well-being of our county. I will fight to ensure that our concerns are heard loud and clear in legislature."

Scorecards
A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.
Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
