2016

Fetgatter's campaign website highlighted the following issues:

  • I believe we should fund public education and I will always fight to do so.
  • We currently have immigration laws but before we can have any reform, we must start enforcing those laws.
  • I fully believe in the right to bear arms with no infringement from our government and will not support stricter gun laws put on law abiding citizens.​
  • I would also support the entire restructuring of State taxes and work towards ending wasteful tax credits that do not create jobs.
  • I 100% respect the Constitutional right to freedom of religion.
  • I believe Obamacare is unconstitutional and harms small businesses.[5]
—Scott Fetgatter[6]

Scorecards

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

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.
