Campaign themes

2014

Perry's campaign website highlighted the following issues:[1]

Agriculture

  • Excerpt: "I have personal concerns about the condition of our agricultural sector. Agriculture is an essential part of Utah's economy. I serve on the Budget Appropriations committee for the Department of Agriculture, Department of Natural Resources and Department of Environmental Quality and I understand the importance to agriculture to Utah's future. My grandfather was a rancher in Wayne County and I am a huge advocate for our farmers and ranchers. Without these integral members of our community we would not have food we eat and clothes we wear."

Business Regulations & Rules

  • Excerpt: "Utah is recognized as one of the best States in the United States to do business in and I believe we need to continue to focus our efforts to maintain our leadership role in this critical area that effects economic growth and development."

Crime/Prisons

  • Excerpt: "I have worked in Law Enforcement for over twenty-four years and understand that we need to provide protection for law abiding citizens while protecting the constitutional rights of all who are afforded those protections under the Constitution"

Education Funding

  • Excerpt: "We need to find ways to reduce class sizes and reward teachers so that we can retain the very best to educate our children and grandchildren and the leaders of the future. We must continue to build upon our successes and learn from our failures so that we can make sure we are providing the best education in the world."

Education Innovation/Accountability

  • Excerpt: "We need to reward great teachers and remove bad ones, but I believe this applies in any field of employment. I also do not believe we can replace teachers with technology. I believe technology can make teachers more effective in some cases but we don't have to buy or force teachers to use every new program that is invented."

Scorecards

See also: State legislative scorecards, State legislative scorecards in Utah

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.
