Diaz's website highlighted the following campaign themes:
Excerpt: "We have to keep jobs in our state and we must attract new, higher paying jobs in up and coming industries like healthcare, technology, the sciences and clean and renewable energy."
Excerpt: "Every Floridian should have access to a doctor, especially if every criminal has the right to an attorney. I will fight for those that cannot fight for themselves, including our children, the disabled, and our senior citizens ensuring that they gain access to the care they need."
Excerpt: "My aunt, mother, and wife have all been Miami-Dade Public School teachers. I believe that we have to put our students and teachers first and we must fight to preserve music and arts programs that are currently under attack."
