Corrado's campaign website highlighted the following issues:

“	Property Tax Relief Politicians in Trenton have been promising to address the skyrocketing property taxes for decades, but their piecemeal and partisan approaches have fallen short. We cannot adequately address our property tax problem without first reforming our education funding policy, stopping Trenton's wasteful spending, and creating accountability measures to end fraud and double- and triple-dipping into state pension funds by current and former politicians. These issues will be my priorities areas of concern. Education Reform Governor Christie recently introduced his "fairness formula," which would provide a flat rate of $6,599 for each student throughout the state, regardless of district. This is a fairly extreme approach, but it does recognize the frustrations felt in the suburbs and the need for a new allocation of resources. While exorbitant amounts of money are being spent in our biggest cities, graduation rates and achievement metrics have not substantially improved. Rather than throw money at the schools in these cities, the underlying causes of poverty, high crime rates, gang activity, unemployment, and fragmented families need to be addressed. In the interim, no amount of education funding is going to dramatically improve our urban centers or student achievement rates. Instead of creating a flat rate for education aid, a "fairer formula" could ameliorate some of the challenges faced by suburban schools, where teachers are too often required to spend thousands of dollars out of pocket for basic supplies such as pencils, art supplies, and other educational materials, and reduce property taxpayer burdens throughout the state. Veterans Programs & Courts Our heroes deserve not only our enduring respect for their bravery and sacrifices, but our understanding and commitment to helping them reintegrate into civil society after their service. Too often, our Servicemembers and Veterans confront physical and psychological traumas when returning home. The mental health challenges often include post-traumatic stress disorder, depression, anxiety, acute stress, and effects resulting from traumatic brain injury. Some Vets turn to drugs and alcohol to cope with these issues. It is incumbent upon us as New Jerseyeans and Americans to take measures to reduce this reliance through programs designed to address healthcare, wellness, education, professional development, and other opportunities for our brave Vets. Oversight of State Funds Trenton has let taxpayers down time and time again by throwing funds at pet projects without safeguards to prevent fraud, waste, and abuse or to adequately monitor and evaluate programs to determine potential improvement, revision, or cancellation of future projects depending on their success or shortcomings. Funds are provided to entities throughout the state with no document retention policy, which leads to both waste and redundancies. I support and want to expand current legislative proposals that improve transparency of regional and municipal authorities, enhance oversight of those authorities by the State Comptroller, increase opportunities for intervention by the State Auditor, and require records to be preserved. Eliminating Waste, Fraud, & Abuse: I support and hope to expand upon existing legislation in the State Senate that would: Prohibit simultaneous employment in state, country, municipal, and appointed positions to eliminate double- and triple-dipping; Eliminate state contract awards to businesses in which state, county, and local public officials hold controlling interests; Require forfeiture of public office upon conviction of crimes; Mandate full forfeiture of public pensions for any public official convinced of any crime violating the public trust; and Require all state, county, and local government officials and appointees to receive regular ethics training.	”

Scorecards

See also: State legislative scorecards and State legislative scorecards in New Jersey

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.
