Campaign themes
2014
Fromuth's campaign website highlighted the following issues:[1]
Taxes
- Excerpt: "Bart will oppose any attempt to raise taxes as Bedford's State Representative and support efforts to reduce taxes aimed at harming businesses, jobs and the middle class."
Role of Government
- Excerpt: "Bart is a believer in State's rights and the U.S.Constitution. Bart believes that a Government left unchecked will ultimately try and grow its power. Both at the federal and state levels we are plagued by governments and governmental agencies that have grown so large, so powerful and so grotesquely wasteful that there is no choice but to begin immediate and decisive reductions in their budget and powers before it is too late."
Spending
- Excerpt: "Bart will make all efforts to responsibly and consistently reduce New Hampshire's budget deficit with a long term outlook that has material benefits to the State's fiscal outlook. Bart believes any additional dollars spent today ultimately leads to higher taxes tomorrow."
Gun Control
- Excerpt: "Bart is a staunch defender of our Second Amendment Rights as codified in the Constitution of the United States."
Education
- Excerpt: "Bart will fight to protect local control of education. No one knows how to educate their children better than their parents and teachers."

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.
