Campaign themes

2016

Dore's campaign website highlighted the following issues:

  • Economic Development: I believe...Long term private sector jobs, most often in the form of small businesses are the best jobs to create and will serve our communities for years to come. The best way to make sure jobs are created and are long lasting is to oppose excessive government regulations, oppose reckless spending, and oppose the constant burdens and directives placed on business by an ever creeping government. In short, the message should be clear that small business drives the economic engine of our country and we will support measures that foster the spirit of entrepreneurship; and Government needs to STAY OUT OF OUR BUSINESS.
  • Second Amendment Rights: The rights of law abiding citizens to keep and bear arms, guaranteed in the second amendment, should be given the same deference as the other liberties protected by the Bill of Rights. The founders had the foresight and wisdom to guarantee this fundamental right, and it is our duty as elected officials and citizens of this great Country to do all we can to assure that this liberty is never violated and to uphold the constitution. I STRONGLY believe we must defend all of the freedoms granted by the constitution, not pick and choose based on political motivations.
  • Education: We must protect this dream by investing in our children’s future and preparing them to compete in the global market. However the role of Government should be limited, and the focus of decisions and efforts with regards to education should come from the local levels – and most importantly parents. The issue of Higher Ed in our state and the rising cost of higher education is a concerning issue. We need to work on increasing transparency to guarantee parents and students have the best possible information when making decisions about higher education and making sure that the costs meet the expectation of education. Additionally, working to assure that our next generations of students have options to compete and succeed in this world is critical and not a one size fits all attitude, options of trade schools and the like need to be part of any continuing education discussion.
  • Water and Agriculture: Farmers and ranchers are the heart of this district, so protecting water rights and water quality is critically important. We must ensure that we have good water for crops, as well as enough water to allow for economic growth for our communities. It is critical that, as larger cities in the area are running out of water and looking east and south to meet their water needs, we secure our water needs for today and years to come, by creating adequate storage to capture and use water that will protect the rich history of our land and the gifts the land produces for us.
  • Dignity of Life: I am pro-life plus. I believe in the sanctity of life from the moment of conception. I also believe the strategy to end abortion must be broader than waiting for the Supreme Court to revisit Roe v. Wade. We must support pro-life activities that will help change the hearts and souls, while at the same time working to overturn the law. We need to support crisis pregnancy centers, promote adoption, and educate both men and women on preventing pregnancies. We must take all actions possible and put our pro-life beliefs into real, tangible action and demonstrate a consistent, unwavering support for the sanctity of life.[1]
—Tim Dore[2]

Scorecards

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

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.
