Christian, Conservative and Fiscally Responsible

To return as much of our tax dollars as possible to my district. You must also use biblical values and common sense

To work together. It is the Legislators’ job to prepare the Budget and write Laws, not the Governor’s

It’s the only way to get things done. Nobody passes a bill by themselves

Harold Brubaker, Jesse Helms, and our current leadership team.

Yes. In the last budget, the Legislature is now part of the process.

Speaker Tim Moore. State Employees Association. North Carolina Farm Bureau

Agriculture, Transportation, and Environment

It’s a must! Every dollar spent should be justified.

Scorecards

See also: State legislative scorecards and State legislative scorecards in North Carolina

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.
