2016

Baldwin's campaign website highlighted the following issues:

“
  • In the current energy crunch that is adversely affecting our state there is an increased need to diversify our economy, but certainly not at the price of damaging our heritage and uniqueness that makes Wyoming special. I believe that while many would have us "shelter in place" and spend all of our savings during this crisis that now is the time to prepare for our future through our schools and by investing in our future. The health care of our citizens has grown to a critical issue due to federal mandates and changes. Access and Management of our wild places has become a struggle due to legal challenges and management by a federal government out of touch with local issues and concerns. While I am not a proponent of the state taking over federal lands I am a supporter of return to more local input and local solutions to local issues. Growth of state government needs to be brought under control and our local cities and counties need to be fully funded and supported to reach their goals. More citizen involvement in all levels of government needs to be solicited to reach workable solutions. A passive citizenry cannot ever expect to have their wishes known or met. We have grown to be a lazy population venting our thoughts through social media and not getting our feet wet on complex issues and concerns.[6]
 ”
—Fred Baldwin, [7]

Scorecards

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

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.
