Campaign website
Bizzarro’s campaign website stated the following:
“ |
PROTECT STATE ASSETS AND OUR PENSIONS Reviewing State Contracts: I will implement a state contracting process review to add protections from wage theft and work to increase opportunities for prevailing wages and investment in companies that invest in Pennsylvania. PROTECT IMPORTANT PROGRAMS PA Able: The PA Able program provides peace of mind to caregivers of people with disabilities. As Treasurer, I will connect with advocates, home care providers, and organizations like the ARC of Pennsylvania to encourage caregivers to make the most of the program. Low-Interest Loans: I am dedicated to protecting access to low-interest loans for our cities, towns, farmers, and non-profits. The state treasurer’s office manages loan programs that support and expand our number one industry, agriculture, as well as oversight of community development loan funds. KEEP PENNSYLVANIANS CLOSER TO THEIR MONEY Increase Financial Literacy: I want to be a state treasurer who helps Pennsylvanians learn more about their own money and how to protect and grow it. I will provide new educational materials and opportunities to increase financial literacy for all those who wish to learn, from our student-aged Pennsylvanians to our retirees. A better, closer relationship with our finances begins with better understanding about how to utilize it, protect it, and even invest it. UNCLAIMED PROPERTY Pennsylvania’s current approach is unimaginative and lacks aggressive leadership. It is slowed by half- measures and bureaucratic impediments that aren’t working. I will change it.[11] |

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.
