Campaign themes
2014
Campfield's campaign website highlighted the following issues:[1]
Obamacare
- Excerpt: "Senator Campfield has fought for your right to maintain your own Healthcare Freedom, and fought against Obamacare every step of the way. He sponsored the Healthcare Freedom Act here in Tennessee to protect your right to make your own healthcare decisions. Deciding to choose the "best" way to implement it is neither an option, nor a solution. Implementing this, under any name, would be disastrous for Tennessee, our budget, our taxpayers, and our healthcare patients."
Taxes
- Excerpt: "No one has worked harder to lower taxes and and [sic] here in Tenessee [sic] we are the #2 lowest taxed state in the country. That has created a business friendly environment, and we've seen billions of dollars come to Tennessee from other states over few years. His efforts have benefitted [sic] us by letting us keep more of what we earn, and letting us feed our families for less. Not only do we benefit from his efforts and insight, but our children do too."
Civil Liberties
- Excerpt: "Senator Campfield has fought for your civil liberties, including your rights to privacy and due process. He has brought legislation to fight the NDAA's "Indefinite Detention", has reduced the ability of government to store automated license plate scan information, limited the ability of localities to implement more red light cameras, and has restricted warrantless domestic spying, and the use of domestic drones on Tennesseans."
Gun Rights
- Excerpt: "Senator Campfield is one of Tennessee's staunchest supporters of our right to bear arms and the 2nd Amendment."
Illegal Immigration
- Excerpt: "Senator Campfield opposes giving illegal immigrants a free ride. He supports enforcing the law, and opposes making Tennesseans foot the bill for the activity of criminals. This includes steadfast opposition to giving them benefits like in-state tuition to college, benefits which would otherwise come at the cost of taxpayers' wallets, and the cost of education opportunities for Tennessee's children."
NSA surveillance
In January 2014, Campfield and State Rep. Andy Holt introduced legislation pushing back against the National Security Agency and the federal government’s warrantless surveillance programs. The bills would ban state officials from providing material support to the NSA’s code-breaking facility in Oak Ridge, Tennessee.[2]

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.
