2016

Lewis' campaign website highlighted the following issues:

A voice for our families.

  • Securing a living wage for all of the Commonwealth’s workers. Nobody working 40 hours per week deserves to live in poverty.
  • Fighting for fairer tax policies that meet our Commonwealth’s needs without burdening the middle class. I strongly support the proposed “millionaire’s tax,” which will moderately increase taxes on annual incomes over a million dollars in order to fund crucial investments in infrastructure and education.
  • Ensuring access to high-quality, affordable healthcare for all residents.

A voice for our schools.

  • Making public college more accessible and affordable for our families.
  • Fully funding vocational schools and other workforce training programs.
  • Protecting public education and supporting greater funding for local school districts.

A voice for innovation.

  • Creating a dependable 21st century public transportation system to broaden access to Framingham and Ashland while decreasing our carbon footprint.
  • Preserving and expanding our public green spaces.
  • Expanding renewable energy production and tax-credits.

A voice for inclusion.

  • Celebrating and working closely within the diverse communities of our district.
  • Continuing Rep. Tom Sannicandro's fight to increase program funding for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
  • Ensuring that our seniors are able to retire with dignity.[5]
—Jack Patrick Lewis[6]

Scorecards

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

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.
