Campaign themes
2014
Gee's website highlighted the following campaign themes:[1]
- Excerpt: "In an economic and political climate filled with many unknowns, you deserve enlightened leadership in order to reduce RI’s heavy tax burdens. For our state to right itself, your legislature has to work selflessly toward a shared goal of fiscal prudence. I have been a Rhode Islander for 49 years, 44 of them as a businessman. I’ve demonstrated a record of accomplishments, leadership and contributions to our community. Independent-minded, I am not afraid to make tough decisions for the collective good of us taxpayers. You deserve an honest, credible voice in the future of this state."

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.
