Pratt's campaign website highlighted the following issues:[9]

“
  • Fight to create economic opportunities: Government dependency saps our economic strength and denies people the dignity that comes from a job earned. It is the private sector that ultimately creates jobs, not government.
  • Fight for small businesses: Like hundreds of businesses across Fayette, Scott and Owen Counties, I started my business by myself with no guidance from the government to help me secure a loan, or even write a basic business plan.
  • Stand for government transparency: Being blessed to have a job in the private sector, I am not running to be your State Representative simply to have access to taxpayer funded health insurance or retirement benefits. We must make sure lawmakers in Frankfort have the option to refuse these taxpayer provided benefits.[10]

Scorecards

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

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.
