Campaign themes

2016

Lewis' campaign website highlighted the following issues:

  • Water is our most precious resource. Kimmi will advocate for our rights to beneficially use water in eastern Colorado. She will not sanction the federal government’s efforts to control how Colorado uses its water.
  • Taxes and regulations weaken economic activity and undermine economic opportunities. In 2015, Kimmi successfully led an effort to prevent the unlawful establishment of a special district in Bent County. She will continue to prevent the growth of government and taxation in eastern Colorado, and she will work to lower existing taxes and cut spending.
  • Expanded gun rights and the proper care of our veterans are no-brainers. Kimmi will defend our rights to lawfully bear arms and will pay special attention to the admirable men and women who have served our country.
  • Agriculture is eastern Colorado’s most vital industry. As a livestock producer, Kimmi realizes that the standard of living in our communities is directly tied to the profitability of our farms and ranches. Kimmi will be a competent, experienced, and knowledgeable voice for our agricultural industry.
  • High speed internet means enhanced efficiency for many businesses and a higher quality of life for rural Americans, which equals an improved economy. Kimmi understands that faster internet also provides for improved healthcare services. Kimmi will support the extension of broadband to the rural areas of eastern Colorado.[2]

Scorecards

See also: State legislative scorecards and State legislative scorecards in California

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.
