Campaign themes
2016
Hill's campaign website highlighted the following issues:
| “ |
Jobs & Economic Diversification West Virginia's budget is in dire strains due to the decline in the coal industry due to market forces and the onerous regulations from President Obama's EPA. Because legislative leaders of the past failed to create a diversified economy, our reliance on one industry has gotten us into a mess. Delegate Hill firmly believes coal will continue to play a large role in West Virginia's economy, but we must work to attract other industry from all sectors of the U.S. economy to our state. Coal and Energy Our workers' safety should be a top priority. We must strive to lead the nation in safety. Delegate Hill supported the Coal Jobs and Safety Act of 2015, which contains major enhancements in mine safety and environmental law that strengthened West Virginia’s laws by being more reflective of actual conditions and practices in today’s modern coal mines and brought us more in line with the federal laws and regulations. Ending the Drug Epidemic We all know West Virginia suffers from a drug epidemic that has ravaged our state. Delegate Hill is a member of the House Health and Human Resources Committee, of which has passed numerous pieces of legislation to combat substance abuse. Under the new Republican majority, the Select Committee on Prevention and Treatment of Substance Abuse was created to zero in on this epidemic. The drug problem in West Virginia is one of the many things that has kept our state from competing with the rest of the country economically. Focusing on enforcement, prevention, treatment and counseling is a must. Education While we remain among the highest spending of the states, our test scores have fallen to be among the nation’s lowest. Not only are our test scores in need of improvement, but our teachers are not paid enough. Our educators are among the lowest paid in the nation, which means we will continue to lose bright minds to other states. West Virginia cannot continue down the path we have been on for many years. We have to continue to take bold action for the sake of our students' future. We must make this about our students. Life Delegate Hill firmly believes life begins at conception. West Virginians for Life Inc. rates him 100% pro-life.[1] |

Hill's website highlighted the following campaign themes:[3]
Economic Prosperity
- Excerpt: "In order for our state government to fix the economy, they first must realize that government policy and sound economics go hand in hand. We must put a stop to the practice of passing one burdensome regulation after another in Charleston and end the high taxation binge."
Education
- Excerpt: "It is true that our schools need funding, but we must reform the system and stop just throwing money at the problem. It is time that our government listens to teachers and parents and step out of the way as recommended and let our teachers do what they do best, teach. We need more local and parental control in education and we must eliminate bureaucracy that our schools find to be a nuisance."
Vote Swapping
- Excerpt: "This act is one I will never take part in. Leaving principle and integrity behind for political expediency is something I find to be disgraceful. This is precisely the reason West Virginians now feel that the political process in Charleston has been corrupted. West Virginia needs legislators who stand firm to principles and lead with integrity."
Life
- Excerpt: "Children are a gift from our Creator and the right to life should never be infringed upon by politicians. As your delegate, I will strongly support stripping away tax-payer funding for abortion procedures."
Second Amendment
- Excerpt: "We need legislators who protect our rights, not limit them. I pledge to oppose any and all legislation limiting our gun rights. You have my word."

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.
