2016

Barbieri's website highlighted the following campaign themes:[16]

Right to life

  • Excerpt: "By definition, our posterity requires that we protect the innocent. Abortion is NOT a form of birth control and, like any other murder, should be a crime."

Alien invasion

  • Excerpt: "The effect of this invasion is huge, and the solution to this issue rests in the term ‘illegal’ alien. The moment an illegal immigrant hits the system, be it the hospital, a traffic stop, or a schoolhouse, that person should be deported. Since we cannot now trust the Federal Government to protect the rights of its citizens, Idaho must act without Federal assistance."

Private property

  • Excerpt: "The effect of this invasion is huge, and the solution to this issue rests in the term ‘illegal’ alien. The moment an illegal immigrant hits the system, be it the hospital, a traffic stop, or a schoolhouse, that person should be deported. Since we cannot now trust the Federal Government to protect the rights of its citizens, Idaho must act without Federal assistance."

Agenda 21

  • Excerpt: "I am very concerned about the negative effects of Agenda 21 on our local communities and encourage everyone to get involved locally to stop it from being put in place in your community."

Gun control

  • Excerpt: "Our gun rights are not negotiable. Idahoans must defend our right to keep and bear arms."

Education

  • Excerpt: "I support parents’ choice in educating their children by Home School, Private School, or Public School. I support new efforts such as a Tax Credit Scholarship Program allowing donors a tax credit for contribution to a scholarship fund. Citizens should not be forced by financial considerations to put their children in Public Schools."

2012

Barbieri's website highlighted the following campaign themes:[17]

  • RIGHT TO LIFE
Excerpt: "By definition, our posterity requires that we protect the innocent. Abortion, like murder, should be a crime."
  • ALIEN INVASION
Excerpt: "The effect of this invasion is huge, and the solution to this issue rests in the term ‘illegal’ alien. The moment an illegal immigrant hits the system, be it the hospital, a traffic stop, or a schoolhouse, that person should be deported. Since we cannot now trust the Federal Government to protect the rights of its citizens, Idaho must act without Federal assistance."
  • PRIVATE PROPERTY
Excerpt: "Without private ownership and personal control of property, there is no security in one’s person. Private property is an essential part of the Liberty acknowledged as God given and self-evident in our Declaration of Independence."
  • GUN CONTROL
Excerpt: "Our gun rights are not negotiable. Idahoans must defend our right to keep and bear arms."
  • PUBLIC SCHOOLS
Excerpt: "The institution of public schools hold an important place in educating the secular in our society. The budget of the schools, however, cannot be unlimited. I support the recently passed legislation requiring school districts of more than 350 students to post their expenditures on-line for all to see. One more thing: If you accept Jesus Christ as Lord and God, then pull your kids out of that Godless institution."

Scorecards

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

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.
