2014
Zebrowski's campaign website highlighted the following issues:[18]
Working For The Taxpayer
- Excerpt: "Ken continues to fight for Rockland’s fair share of State funding to both provide the best education for our children and to keep local property taxes down."
Reform, Accountability and Transparency
- Excerpt: "Ken doesn’t think elected officials who violate the public’s trust should be able to collect a government pension, which is why he has signed onto legislation that would take away pensions of politicians who have been convicted of corruption charges. He believes in zero tolerance for individuals who use public office to defraud taxpayers and has supported reforms that will do just that."
Education
- Excerpt: "Over the past year, Ken has held meetings and forums to listen to the concerns of parents, teachers and administrators on the flawed implementation of the Common Core. He supported sweeping reforms to the Common Core including instituting a moratorium on the use of high stakes tests to evaluate students and teachers, a limit on classroom time spent on test preparation, and banned testing for grades K-2. He also successfully advocated for the termination of the State’s contract with third party data vendor InBloom."
Healthcare
- Excerpt: "Ken has worked to ensure health insurance companies are playing by the rules. He has introduced legislation, which has passed the Assembly, which would make it illegal for insurance companies to reward their employees based upon the number of claims they deny or policies canceled. This common sense legislation will protect consumers who have been the victim of unfair insurance practices."
Public Safety
- Excerpt: "As important as sponsoring and supporting bills that cut down on crime is Ken’s opposition to proposals that hinder police work. Ken has consistently opposed proposals that put bureaucratic obstacles between our police and their ability to effectively combat crime."

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.
