Redistricting

Due to redistricting, many Nevada districts saw dramatic shifts in their boundary lines. As a result, Daly's District 31 moved from a complacent 16-point Democratic voter registration advantage to a 4-point lead towards Republicans. Because of the new Republican voter registration advantage in District 31, Republicans planned to aggressively target the district in 2012.[15]

Daly's campaign website highlighted the following issues:

Protecting the Middle Class: Economic Security for Nevada Workers and Retirees

One of the reasons I am running for office is that I believe we need a representative in the State Assembly who will fight for our middle class values, who will stand up for Nevada workers, and who will make retirement income security a real priority. I believe this is one of many areas where the incumbent has let us down. I am committed to better working conditions for Nevada workers with jobs that provide good wages and benefits, including family health care coverage. I support equal pay for women doing the same jobs as men and establishing an earned sick leave program for workers so they do not have to fear losing their jobs in case of illness or a family emergency.

Bringing New Jobs to Nevada

As we expand our economy, we must also ensure our existing businesses and industries, such as tourism, recreational opportunities, and small businesses, progress.

I have always been a passionate advocate for Nevada’s workers and their families, and I believe we need to do more to help those who are still unemployed or struggling to make ends meet.

Better schools

My education priorities will be:

  • To continue to reduce overcrowding in our schools and classrooms.
  • To ensure our schools are safe environments for kids to learn.
  • To recruit and keep the best teachers so we have a highly qualified teacher for every classroom.
  • To make sure our coursework, including vocational education, is preparing students for today’s new jobs.
  • To support early childhood education to give our youngest students a firm foundation to succeed in school.
  • To demand greater accountability for school spending.

Government Accountability and Transparency

In the legislature, I supported and sponsored bills to do just that—to hold government accountable for every dollar spent and every action taken. We need to make sure our hard earned tax dollars are being spent to truly improve critical state services, including education, public safety, transportation and services to help children, seniors and veterans.[16]

Scorecards

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

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.

The Nevada Policy Research Institute, a Nevada-based conservative-libertarian think tank, releases a "Legislative Report Card" evaluating members of the Nevada State Legislature on "each lawmaker's voting record on legislation impacting the degree of economic freedom and education reform." Bills determined by the Institute to be of greater significance are weighted accordingly. According to the Institute, "a legislator with a score above 50 is considered to be an ally of economic liberty."[18]

2011

Daly received a score of 34.03 percent in the 2011 report card, ranking 29th out of all 63 Nevada State Legislature members.[18]
