Parent's website has emphasized the following campaign themes:[11]
| “ | Attract Good Paying Jobs and Keep the One's We Have
Far too often we open the newspaper or a local news website to see that another company is laying off workers and leaving Vermont. Businesses are leaving Vermont because of a high tax burden, high energy rates, and a long and painful permitting and regulatory environment. I know how hard it can be to find a job in Vermont. After college, like so many young Vermonters I couldn't find a job that utilized my education. Leading me to take a job out of state. I have spoken with many of our local business leaders and it is clear that the legislature can help employers both big and small by changing the tax-first attitude in Montpelier. Work to Make Vermont a More Affordable Place to Live Affordability is a problem that impacts those of all ages who live in St. Albans. Those who live on fixed incomes struggle to keep up with rising property taxes and utility costs. Young people struggle to get an affordable college education and if they do, they struggle to find an afforable place to live. The Vermont House of Representative's voted to raise taxes on working Vermonter's by nearly $100 million in 2013 alone. That is unsustainable and unacceptable. St. Albans needs a Representative who understands that increasing taxes makes building a life, career, and family here more difficult. Montpelier may have a tax-first attitude but those of us in St. Albans know that Montpelier doesn't have a tax problem, it has a spending problem. Be a Leader on Vermont's Opiate Epidemic I was a student at BFA when our community began to see an increase in prescription drug abuse. It has impacted my friends, classmates, teammates and neighbors. I have never been more proud of my hometown than when we confronted the issue head-on. St. Albans led on the issue and we had a Represenative who was a leader on the issue in Montpelier for us. We have seen that prescription drug problem become a heroin problem and we have lost that voice of strong leadership on the issue. If elected to Represent you, I will work to be the Leader this community deserves on Vermont's opiate epidemic.[12] |

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.
