Liberati's website highlighted the following campaign themes:[9]
Accountability and good governance:
- Excerpt: "Today, our democracy is plagued with incredible dysfunction and terrible results for middle class families because few in state government are held accountable and, even worse, the public is locked out from influencing change. This is most apparent with our state government ranking dead last in terms of accountability and public opinion showing that trust in Michigan’s government at an all-time low. To be sure, there is much work to be done in restoring the people’s trust and bringing about strong accountability reforms."
Investing in education
- Excerpt: "As your state representative, I have advocated for policies that will attract and retain the best teachers as well as initiatives aimed at improving early childhood education. Additionally, I will continue to support education reforms that are proven to work and focus on innovation, because I understand that our students are now competing with young people across the world."
Creating an economy that works for all
- Excerpt: "As your State Representative, I supported the “Blueprint for Michigan’s Families,” a broad economic reform agenda that put working and middle class families first. Moving forward, I’ll continue to work alongside working families and businesses to develop policies that will support small businesses and 21st century entrepreneurs."
Middle class tax cut
- Excerpt: "As your state legislator, I will fight for a tax system that is fair and makes sense. This starts with increasing the Earned Income Tax Credit and Homestead Property Tax Credit to the levels that supported Michigan families before Republican leaders cut them."

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.
