2016

Rymer's campaign website highlighted the following issues:

Fiscal Responsibility

As your Representative, I will fight, claw and battle to ensure we:

  • Reduce tax burdens across the board on Minnesota families, entrepreneurs, and retirees – with an emphasis on not only scaling back our 3rd-highest Corporate tax nationally, but also drastically cutting our crushing estate and gift taxes

Education

As your Representative, I will:

  • Work to ensure that parents are given a legitimate choice to provide their children with the best schooling available to them; this includes implementing a strong voucher program in Minnesota and significantly expanding charter schools

Transportation and Infrastructure

As the Representative for 49B, I will:

  • Work to place a long-term moratorium on light rail projects and viability studies, in order to focus resources on road expansion and repair, and divert transit dollars to more cost effective modes of transit – including electric and self-driving automobile initiatives[6]
—Max Rymer[7]

Scorecards

See also: State legislative scorecards and State legislative scorecards in Minnesota

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.
