Waldron's website highlighted the following campaign themes:[16]

Budget & Taxes

  • Excerpt: "California taxpayers are among the highest taxes in the country – we do not have a revenue problem. I have signed a pledge to not raise taxes because North County families have to make budget priorities at home – it is time that Sacramento politicians do the same."

Immigration

  • Excerpt: "In the State Assembly, I will author legislation to strengthen penalties for businesses that hire illegal immigrants, and fight to prevent our hard earned tax dollars from being spent on services to illegal immigrants."

Transportation

  • Excerpt: "In the State Assembly, I will fight to clear the bureaucratic roadblocks and bring transportation dollars to North County. I will work with regional leaders to ensure that more of our gas tax dollars are returned back to our region."

Public Safety

  • Excerpt: "In the State Assembly I will continue to fight to protect our children from gang violence and sexual predators. I will support tougher sentences, including life sentences for one-strike child predators."

Scorecards

See also: State legislative scorecards, 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.
