Gutierrez's website highlighted the following campaign themes:

• 1. Elect State Insurance Commissioner - "Changing from an appointed to an elected state insurance commissioner could help inject accountability into the system and give Texans more leverage over continuing rate hikes by the major insurance corporations."
• 2. Repeal Texas Blue Laws - "Texas needs to modernize its economy to bring in revenue and safeguard vital services. One way is to level the playing field for small businesses by repealing current state laws that prohibit Sunday sales of alcohol in retail outlets but allow beer and wine sales in bars and restaurants."
• 3. Generate Millions By Closing Loophole - "close the longstanding loophole in the state's excise tax that calculates some tobacco products' tax liability according to price instead of weight. HB 1289 closes that loophole - and bring in an estimates $100 million in additional revenue for Texas."

Scorecards

See also: State legislative scorecards and State legislative scorecards in Texas

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.
