Campaign themes
2016
Hertz's campaign website highlighted the following issues:[1]
| “ |
The Constitution: I will always uphold my oath to support, protect & defend the Constitutions of the United States and the State of Montana. Taxes: I spent four years on the Missoula City Council working to cut reckless spending, fight tax increases, and hold government accountable. I’m ready to work for you in the State Legislature to achieve meaningful, permanent tax relief. A lot of politicians will tell you they want lower taxes, but their voting records don’t match their rhetoric. My record of fiscal responsibility speaks for itself. Economy: Montana has a well-educated workforce and abundant natural resources, yet we rank 49th in the nation in wages. As a small business owner, I know what it takes to create jobs. As your legislator, I’ll work to remove barriers to employment, reform our tax code, and pass legislation that will attract, retain, and create high wage jobs in Montana. Public Lands:: As an outdoor enthusiast, hunter, fisherman, and 6th generation Montanan, I believe that protecting our access to public lands is paramount. Like so many Montanans, I've enjoyed the recreational opportunities that our public lands provide for as long as I can remember. I'll work to preserve our outdoor heritage for generations to come. I'm a tireless defender of the 2nd Amendment and have an "A" rating and endorsement from the National Rifle Association and Montana Shooting Sports Association. Education: I believe in a strong, well-funded education system that prepares our children for the jobs of the 21st century. We need to align our educational goals with our economic goals so our kids can prosper in a rapidly changing global economy.[2] |

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.
