Chipman's website highlighted the following campaign themes:
| “ | Property Rights
Property rights, including mineral rights, should be protected like any other right. A property owner should be able to utilize their property in any manner they see fit as long as they do not infringe upon the rights of others. Eminent domain is a tactic that should only be used in the most dire of circumstances and never for private development. When that happens, the government is, in effect, choosing winners and losers instead of protecting its citizens. Education Economy Health Care Second Amendment Pro-Life |

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.
