Lindholm's website highlighted the following campaign themes:
| “ | Constitutional Freedoms
Unfortunately, not all of Wyoming’s current laws allow citizens to fully enjoy the most basic freedoms promised in the Bill of Rights. One glaring example I see is in forced blood draws for drivers who refuse a Breathalyzer following traffic stops. The Constitution explicitly specifies in the Fifth Amendment that “no person … shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself…” One’s blood is witness against himself, violating that freedom. Another hot-button issue in the last year is seen in Senate File 104, which stripped our Superintendent of Public Instruction of her constitutionally-guaranteed duties. Furthermore, this bill also neglected the voting rights of Wyoming’s citizens by effectively nullifying the power of the vote. Common Core versus Common Sense The so-called State-led Common Core Standards are a huge overreach by our Federal Government with the express permission of our State Government. These standards do address some of the issues we have with our education system, but they create far greater problems in their implementation. Standards developed for cookie-cutter children are unrealistic and compound on the educational deficits we see in the State. The status quo only advocates for a continued disregard for what the majority of our children need. Think of Common Core Standards as a running standard in gym class. The Federal Government set a standard that all children need to be able to run 1 mile a day in 7 minutes. While this may be easy for your child, it won’t be an easy task for everyone’s child. What if your child is faster? Must they be held back because of this standard? Common Core Standards foster mediocrity, which in turn builds a mediocre society not prepared to lead the next generation. Aldous Huxley’s 1931 novel A Brave New World addressed this concern. It is alarming that we have once again chosen to ignore the impacts anticipated by one of the greatest recognized authors of our time. Food Freedom The freedom to decide what’s best for your family is paramount in today’s society. In the Great State of Wyoming, who would've ever thought that we couldn't drink milk from our neighbor’s cows? This is,in fact, the law of the land and an issue that I intend to confront head on. Resolving this issue will allow families to decide what’s best for their children, and it will be a tremendous benefit to agri-business through opportunities such as value-added products. Legislative Accountability As we elect officials to represent our interests in Cheyenne each year, too often we no longer hear from these individuals after November. In today’s world, I believe that both transparency and accountability of both our State Government and State Government officials is absolutely necessary. I am prepared, when elected, to publish all important votes made in Legislature on my website, Facebook page and Twitter feed, along with an explanation as to why I voted the way I did. Additionally, I will be available by phone and email to answer your questions and address your concerns. Reducing Government The Wyoming State Government spending growth from 2000 to 2010 was one of the highest in the nation, at 61% according to the Tax Foundation. Couple this with the fact that new taxes are continually being introduced in legislature, and we can quickly see a trend. In 2013 Wyoming legislature passed a $0.10 gas tax hike that promised to not show up at the pump, yet 1 week after July 1, 2013, we all saw the opposite had happened. Legislature also passed a lottery tax that did nothing more than pour money into the State coffers without replacing any taxes. In reality it just gave our State government the express permission to spend more. As your representative, I would rather see the money we have in our community stay right where it belongs – at home, where it can address the challenges each of our communities see.[6][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.
