Nisly's website highlighted the following campaign themes:
| “ | Life
Life begins at conception and lasts until one’s natural death. Life is one of the unalienable rights mentioned in the Declaration of Independence. Taking the innocent life of another denies this fundamental right. Gun Owners Rights The Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution states, “the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.” Free people retain the right to arm themselves. The Founders knew an oppressive government must be kept in check through separation of powers, and also through the power of the people. Indiana State Sovereignty The United States of America is a group of states which signed and agreed upon a contract, namely the U.S. Constitution. The states preceded the federal government and formed the federal government, and therefore maintain supremacy over the federal government in all matters which are not expressly given to the federal government in the U.S. Constitution. Indiana has the right and duty to keep the federal government inside its Constitutional boundaries. Traditional Marriage Marriage is a tradition and also an institution which civilizations have recognized over millennia. The definition of marriage is the union between one man and one woman, and Hoosiers should have the right to establish this definition in the Indiana Constitution. Local Control of Education Parents bear the ultimate responsibility to see their children are educated. Education has several purposes, such as imparting skills needed to become good citizens. For this reason, elementary and secondary education requires much more than simply enabling a job offer or admission to college. Local control of education standards and curricula allows for local values and customs which help create the mosaic that is America.[9][10] |

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.
