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:
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
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.

According to the Institute, "a legislator with a score above 50 is considered to be an ally of economic liberty."[18]
