2016

Flitner's campaign Facebook page highlighted the following issues:

  • A good legislator listens, and hears the concerns of their constituents. A good legislator is prudent, tenacious and creative in their efforts to serve those whom they represent. I feel I have those characteristics and more. I am a fifth generation Wyomingite. I understand our state and the great people who choose to make Wyoming and Big Horn County their home. I will work hard. I will listen. I will learn. And I will do everything I can to the best of my ability, to serve the citizens of Big Horn County and Wyoming.[4]

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.
