Moran's campaign website highlighted the following issues:

“

Education:

  • Rep. Moran made good on her commitment to pay back the money owed to our schools and voted to make historic investments in education—including Early Childhood Education and free all-day kindergarten for every Minnesota child. Rep. Moran also voted for the largest college financial aid increase in a generation, including a tuition freeze at Minnesota state colleges and universities to help Minnesota students pay for college.

Women’s Economic Security:

  • Women in Minnesota, especially women of color, earn significantly less than their white male counterparts. Rep. Moran authored a portion of the Women’s Economic Security Act (WESA) to help close the gender pay gap because women deserve equal pay for equal work. WESA also strengthened workplace protections and flexibility for pregnant women and mothers, expanded parental leave time, enhanced retirement security, and addressed negative economic consequences of domestic violence, stalking and sexual assault.

Minimum Wage:

  • Rep. Moran worked to raise the minimum wage to $9.50 by 2016. Raising the minimum wage and indexing it to the rate of inflation will give 357,000 working Minnesotans a pay raise. Doing so will allow families to keep up with the rising costs of living instead of continuing to fall farther and farther behind. Raising the minimum wage will help raise members of our community out of poverty and provide them with more economic security that they need and deserve.

Health Care:

  • Rep. Moran helped create MNsure, Minnesota’s online marketplace where individuals and small businesses can compare private insurance policies, pick the plan that’s best for them, and receive financial help to buy it if they qualify. Through MNsure, Rep. Moran also helped cover tens of thousands of low-income Minnesotans by expanding Medical Assistance and MinnesotaCare.
  • MNsure offers the lowest costs of any health insurance exchange in the entire country, before factoring in tax credits available for eligible Minnesotans. In addition, insurance companies can no longer deny coverage to Minnesotans with pre-existing conditions and they cannot place caps on care received in a year or a lifetime. MNsure is also helping to begin reducing health inequities among communities of color.
  • As a result, the number of uninsured Minnesotans was reduced by nearly half. Now, 95 percent of Minnesotans have health insurance – the second best rate in the nation.

Seniors:

  • Rep. Moran continued to stand up for Minnesota seniors and the disabled by increasing funding for home and community- based long-term care providers. No matter where our seniors are living, they deserve the highest level of care we can provide. With years of cuts behind us, Minnesota is finally moving in the right direction and making progress when it comes to funding for our care providers.[11]

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.
