According to the News & Observer, "Insiders say Burris might get financial backing from establishment Republicans to try to oust Burr."[11]
Burr criticized Republican House Speaker Tim Moore for "pushing an agenda that does not align with the Republican’s promises to be efficient and effective with the taxpayers’ dollars." Burr ran against Moore and other House Republicans for the speakership in 2015 to replace the outgoing Thom Tillis, who was elected to the U.S. Senate in 2014. Burr said that Moore was not building on Tillis' "success" as speaker. Moore responded that he was "disappointed" in Burr's comments and that "folks in his [Burr’s] district deserve better than that."[11]

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.
