2016

Hooton's campaign website highlighted the following issues:

“	Fighting climate change: I fully embrace the call for 100% renewable energy by 2030 – it is what is needed to respond to the climate crisis facing our planet and will greatly benefit our state and country as we drive innovation and create jobs, tax benefits, and economic multiplier effects. Weather related events in Colorado – droughts, forest fires, floods, widespread tree diseases, and unusual weather patterns – are only going to get worse unless we act. As state representative, I will work hard to reduce our reliance on fossil fuels and grow our renewable energy sector so that state government is doing its part to address our climate crisis. Economic Opportunity for All: I believe that all people, regardless of background or life circumstances, deserve a chance at a good education and a decent life with economic security – when so many Coloradans are only one hospital bill, one student debt payment, or one paycheck away from economic disaster. As state representative, I will fight for increased investments in our K-12, higher education and transportation systems. I’ll help pass common sense ways that will help create good-paying jobs so that we can rebuild the middle class. Increasing the Minimum Wage: Our minimum wage is too low. Folks working a 40 hour work-week should not live in poverty or have to depend on food stamps, Medicaid, and subsidized housing to make ends meet. I fully support efforts to increase Colorado’s minimum wage and I support giving municipalities like Boulder the ability to raise the minimum wage even higher. Fighting for Pay Equity: Statistics show that Colorado women face a massive pay gap that is hurting families’ economic security and holding back economic growth. The problem is even more severe for women of color. If we close the pay gap, the poverty rate for working women will be cut in half and the Colorado economy would grow by over $9 billion! I will fight for the Equal Pay in State Contracts Act. The bill requires businesses to pay all employees at the same rate regardless of gender, gender identity, race, ethnicity, or national origin for substantially similar work. High Quality and Affordable Education: I’m endorsed by the Boulder Valley Education Association and the Colorado Education Association because I will fight to reverse Colorado’s education funding gap. Sadly, our investment in K-12 and higher education is currently at the bottom in the U.S. because of the Taxpayer Bill of Rights (TABOR). We must find creative ways to ensure that education is accessible and affordable for all, including Dreamers. In addition, I support universal full-day pre-K to ensure all of our children are getting the kind of early education support that will help them succeed in the future.	”

Scorecards

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

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.
