Campaign website

Lincoln Hough’s campaign website stated the following:

“

INFRASTRUCTURE

Investing in infrastructure is a proper role of government and isn’t partisan. That’s why Lincoln has made it his top priority to use his position as Chairman of the Senate Appropriations Committee to invest billions into our state’s road, bridge, and broadband infrastructure.

Lincoln led the fight, pushing back against members of both parties to fund the complete rebuilding of both I-70 and I-44. These projects are beginning in the coming months, and will be transformational to our state.

PUBLIC SAFETY

We have to be honest about the crime problem crippling the city of St. Louis and many areas around the state. Missouri can only attract new businesses and new people if they feel safe in their communities.

Lincoln has been a steadfast supporter of our state’s law enforcement officers and first responders. He is honored to be endorsed by almost every major law enforcement organization around the state, and will continue to prioritize funding and support for our state’s heroes.

EDUCATION

Education is the silver bullet. That’s why Lincoln is dedicated to strengthening Missouri’s education system and workforce through strategic investments in schools, vocational training, and higher education.

As Senate Appropriations Chairman, he has fully funded our K-12 schools and provided of millions of new dollars to our state’s two and four year colleges and universities, while implementing new accountability to ensure these taxpayer dollars are being used to educate kids and not indoctrinate them.

LIFE

As the father of two boys, Lincoln knows the value of life and children as well as anyone. His pro-life accomplishments are unmatched. Lincoln is the first Senate Appropriations Chairman to successfully defund Planned Parenthood, and will continue to stand up for and value life as your Lieutenant Governor.

IMMIGRATION

Simply put, our southern border is nothing short of an invasion. The failed policies of President Biden have caused immeasurable damage in both the short and long term

Lincoln believes in peace through strength. Toughen our border laws and actually enforce them. Lincoln led the fight this year to defund any city that attempts to become a “sanctuary city.” He will continue to lead this fight as your Lieutenant Governor.

2ND AMENDMENT

Shall not be infringed. The phrase is simple and profound. As a gun owner, Lincoln knows firsthand the importance of our 2nd Amendment rights. That’s why he has played a role in passing numerous state laws protecting Missourians’ rights from federal government overreach.

Some talk about doing big, conservative things. Lincoln Hough takes action and has delivered meaningful victories for the entire state. [12]

Scorecards

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

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.
