On his campaign Facebook page, Zachary said on the issues that, "As a native, I am well familiar with the people, problems, assets and needs of this District. In particular, I am interested in working to promote job growth in this District, which has missed out on the growth experienced by some of our neighboring counties, and in supporting our educators in their efforts to prepare our children to prosper in this new economy. I feel well prepared to make our concerns known in Raleigh and it would be my privilege to do so."[1]

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.
