Ballotpedia survey responses

2014
Scheuermann's website highlighted the following campaign themes:[11]
- Budget
- Excerpt: "While Vermont families and businesses have adjusted, or are trying to adjust, to the world in which we now live, Montpelier has not. Vermonters have begun spending less, saving more, and being accountable for every expense made. Yet, our state government continues to spend more and save less, and nobody can tell how and how well that money is spent."[12][11]
- Economic Development
- Excerpt: "It is time to rethink our state's mission and to eliminate the barriers to job creation. It's time to strengthen our educational system to provide more and better opportunities for our children; to reinvest in our manufacturing sector; to significantly increase our tourism efforts; and to open our state to new, entrepreneurial activity. We must encourage our businesses to succeed, rather than challenging them to survive."[13][11]
- Education & Education Financing
- Energy
- Excerpt: "We must have a comprehensive energy plan, with a long-term, realistic approach to achieving it. The plan being proposed is not it. While there are some worthy ideas included in the 600-page plan, implementing it would result in increased air pollution in the short-term, and more expensive power and a loss of jobs, in general."[15][11]
- Environment
- Excerpt: "Instead, however of the state addressing these difficulties in a broad context, the legislature has recently adopted special carve-outs, or exemptions, for certain industries that they deem "appropriate." These include large-scale, renewable energy facilities; composting facilities, and affordable housing projects."[16][11]
- Health Care
- Excerpt: "Obviously, like most Vermonters, I also have serious concerns about our current health care system and believe we must address the skyrocketing costs of health care services and insurance. I also believe, however, that those increases in costs have resulted in large part from government itself: 1) the state and federal government reimbursing providers for services provided Medicaid and Medicare patients at far less than the actual cost of services; and 2) the various services and requirements mandated over the years by government."[17][11]
- Taxes
- Excerpt: "While it may be difficult at this time to reduce the tax burdens, we must do so where it is feasible at this time and where it could lead to private sector job growth (ie: capital gains tax changes, and tax changes for exporters). And, we must prepare ourselves to reform our tax code when the recovery arrives. We must thoughtfully consider the proposals of the Blue Ribbon Tax Commission, and any other proposals that come forward, that would lead to a more simple, fair, and predictable tax code."[18][11]

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.
