Campaign themes
2012
Schneider said on his campaign website:[1]
As a small businessman I see the need for government to be fiscally responsible by passing balanced budgets, cutting spending, and creating an environment where businesses can prosper and create jobs without government interference. I will continue to work in the Senate Majority to pass truly balanced budgets, keep taxes low and promote policies that help businesses put Hoosiers back to work.

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.
