Campbell's campaign website highlighted the following issues:[6]
| “ |
Sustainable Economic Growth: Private businesses provide jobs. Government policies can help create the conditions where businesses thrive and can pay livable wages. We need universal broadband internet and cellphone service. We need public amenities that attract new residents and keep young people here – such as a riverfront park with access to the Lamoille Valley Rail Trail bike path. We need to reduce or eliminate our sales tax which sends business to New Hampshire. Affordable Health Care: My wife, Mary Ready, is a doctor, with first-hand, daily experience of the dysfunction of our current health-care and insurance system. Too many people have been victimized and bankrupted by it. Ultimately, health care is a right, not a privilege. We need to make it affordable to be healthy. Again, it’s not easy or simple, but we need to start now. Housing and Education: These are the twin pillars of future prosperity. We need housing policies that foster a healthy mix of market-rate and affordable housing, and that incentivize owners to improve their properties and make them more energy-efficient. We need education policies that manage costs and continue to provide opportunities for all students.[7] |

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.
