Campaign themes
2014
Tine's campaign website highlighted the following issues:[2]
Building the New Economy
- Excerpt: "The number one priority in the North Carolina legislature today must be the encouragement of a strong economy and job creation. In the northeast, we have opportunities to expand jobs in manufacturing, alternative energy, telework, agribusiness, and logistics. Good jobs like these are dependent upon investment in workforce development, infrastructure and delivering consistent and fair regulations."
Retooling Education
- Excerpt: "The current legislature chose a philosophical stance on taxes over the priority of work force development and education when they refused to keep a ½ penny sales tax to properly fund schools. Paul Tine will fight to insure that our schools are properly funded for today and tomorrow."
K-12
- Excerpt: "North Carolina’s K-12 system is being overhauled to better meet the future needs of our economy. It is crucial to ensure that they have the proper funding to train teachers in the new curriculum and provide the one to one computer to student ratio that has proven to drive success."
Community Colleges
- Excerpt: "Our community colleges were among the hardest hit in the current budget. Rural communities rely on community colleges to retrain workers, prepare students for college and develop the skills needed for local jobs."
Modernize Infrastructure
- Excerpt: "World class jobs follow world class infrastructure. When elected, Paul Tine will work to modernize and make more efficient the Department of Transportation, to maximize the state’s budget. He will continue to bring a focus on developing broadband infrastructure to give the district access to the best education, healthcare and jobs. He will support the development of an alternative system to build jobs today while developing the capacity for tomorrow."

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.
