Campaign themes

2012

Riddle's website highlighted the following campaign themes:[2]

Responsible Government

  • Excerpt: "I believe in maintaining a fiscally sound state government. Fighting tax increases and eliminating wasteful spending is a must for Missouri."

Preserving Traditional Family Values

  • Excerpt: "From conception to natural end, I am 100% pro-life and will continue to defend those values."

Defending the Second Amendment

  • Excerpt: "I am a strong advocate for 2nd Amendment rights guaranteed by our Constitution."

Educating Missouri Children

  • Excerpt: "As a retired school teacher and coach, education is a top priority. It is the door to Missouri’s future. Every child should have access to a world class education. College and vocational schools must be affordable."

Pro-Small Business & Agriculture

  • Excerpt: "I support limited government intervention in our small businesses and family farms. The spirit of competition in free enterprise creates economic growth and job opportunity if not stifled by government red tape."

No New Taxes Pledge

A minority of Missouri lawmakers signed the 2011 edition of the "No New Taxes Pledge." The Taxpayer Protection Pledge is offered by the nonprofit lobbying organization Americans for Tax Reform with the goal of opposing all tax increases as a matter of principle. Just one out of 34 state Senate members signed the 2011 pledge. Out of 163 state House members, only 38 lawmakers signed.

Riddle signed the pledge.[3]

Scorecards

See also: State legislative scorecards, State legislative scorecards in Missouri

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.
