“	Jobs & Economy Creating an environment in West Virginia where our job creators and small businesses are able to grow and hire more West Virginians is one of Senator Greg Boso's top priorities. We must consider regulatory, tax, and legal reforms that would make our state more competitive with other states. Additionally, Senator Boso is focused on identifying federal, business, and manufacturing opportunities, including development sites in the 11th Senatorial District. Another key component in creating more economic opportunities and jobs is ensuring that all West Virginians have access to high speed broadband service. Senator Boso supports broadband expansion and enhancement. Education Every West Virginia child should have an opportunity to receieve a good education surrounded by the best teachers and in schools and classrooms with the latest technology. Senator Boso is a strong advocate of promoting STEAM (Science-Technology-Engineering-Arts-Math). He also supports more parental involvement in each childs education and also changing the West Virginia education system's standard assessment methodology. Infrastructure A top priority for Senator Boso is the completion of Corridor H on an accelerated schedule. He believes West Virginia must do more to meet the demands of repairing our existing highway and bridge network. In addition to highways and bridges, Senator Boso believes access to clean water through water and wastewater facility expansion are key infrastructure needs of our state and region. He also supports a state sponsored and operated Middle Mile fiber network that would serve every county in West Virginia. Public Safety As a result of his many years of service as a Summersville firefighter, Senator Boso knows the importance of our community's first responders. He supports funding volunteer fire service training and operations. Senator Boso agrees that we must do more to stop those who sell drugs in our communties. He supports promoting drug trafficing interdiction and treatment. In addition to these public safety efforts, Senator Boso supports efforts to develop and better retain our correction officiers.	”

Scorecards

See also: State legislative scorecards and State legislative scorecards in West Virginia

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.
