Campaign website
Tagliavia's campaign website stated the following:
| “ |
Public Safety There needs to be real consequences for people's bad, illegal choices and our bail system needs to be restructured. A revolving door policy does not work. Police Our police need the proper support, training, and funding to do the job they are sworn to do. They need to know that their efforts are not in vain. We, as a community, need to have their back. Drug Crisis The drug crisis in Vermont is a major problem that filters down and negatively effects so many facets of our daily lives. We need to change this awful trend, not encourage it. Rule of Law I believe all people are created equal, both under God and the Law, and they need to be treated as such. This includes the unborn. Voter Integrity It should be easy to vote in Vermont but difficult to cheat. Voter ID is one safeguard that is necessary.[2] |

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.
