Klevorn's campaign website highlighted the following issues:[5]
| “ | Strengthen Education for a Robust Economy
Ginny knows that in our global economy, education is the key to future innovation and tomorrow’s jobs. Education allows every student to reach their full potential, drives innovation at our colleges and universities, enhances our businesses, and increases our property values. As a mom of three Wayzata graduates, Ginny will work to invest in K-12 education at 2016 funding levels, find ways to make college more affordable and accessible, and alleviate college graduates from the burden of student loan debt. Invest in Our Roads and Infrastructure Ginny hears the calls from Plymouth businesses and families that we need improved roads, transportation, and communication, because every minute stuck in traffic is time wasted and opportunity lost. Ginny will work with both parties to find innovative solutions to traffic problems and invest in the ongoing maintenance and building of new roads and bridges. Support our Families Ginny will fight for affordable and accessible health and elder care that supports and strengthens our families. Ginny knows that we must support our aging population, working families, and women with public policy that put the health care decisions into the hands of families, with options available to them that are affordable. We must make child care more affordable and invest in our earliest learners. Ginny also knows the importance of keeping our kids healthy and safe by protecting our environment, including our beautiful parks, and by investing and promoting public policy that supports healthy communities.[6] |

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.
