Gray’s campaign website stated the following:
| “ | ADAM ON THE ISSUES Water and Agriculture Ensured that $2.75 billion would be included in the 2014 water bond for storage. Without that leadership, funding for storage would have been zero. Organized the 2018 rally that saw 1,500 Valley residents converge on the Capitol steps to protest the State Water Grab. Led the Valley’s efforts to have SB 1 vetoed, which would have taken vast amounts of water used for growing food and drinking into the Delta. Continues to demand California recognize hydroelectricity as renewable energy, creating incentives for modernization and expansion of generation capacity as brown outs once again threaten our state. Restored state funding for FFA chapters serving 83,500 high school students. Education Secured funding to build the Ag Tech Building at Merced College. Carrying legislation to fund schools based on enrollment, not attendance. Secured $500,000 for after-school programs at Stanislaus and Merced Boys & Girls Clubs. Supported $2.7 billion to offer transitional kindergarten to all 4-years-olds by 2025. Serving 400,000 students, it will be California’s version of universal preschool. Supported more than $100 million in school-based health centers, bringing healthcare into schools – including mental health care. Public Safety Wrote the bill to crack down on theft of parts from irrigation pumps and farm equipment. Wrote a bill to eliminate the Ticket Tax – a 20% surcharge on traffic fines that goes entirely into the General Fund and does not support any specific program. Secured $1 million to bolster UC Merced law enforcement after an attack on campus linked to ISIS. Carrying AB 2682 – supported by district attorneys, police chiefs, sheriffs and others in law enforcement – to fight catalytic converter and organized retail theft. Opposed zero bail, which voters also rejected as Prop 25. Opposed Prop 47, which reduced sentencing, allowing criminals to return to communities before rehabilitation had been completed. Worked across the aisle to advance a bill making the theft of any firearm a felony regardless of its financial value to reverse a critical mistake created by Prop 47. Opposed Prop 57, that allowed early prison release and is now linked to retail theft rings. Worked with law enforcement to ban the use of the chokehold that killed George Floyd without jeopardizing officer safety. Veterans Named the Leo P. Burke Legislator of the Year by the American Legion, Department of CA. Carried legislation to eliminate tax on veteran retirement pay. Supported legislation creating veterans license plates and driver’s licenses. Wrote legislation to protect property tax exemption for veterans’ halls that serve alcohol. Wrote legislation to create license reciprocity with other states so that professionally licensed veterans can work in California without barriers or unnecessary testing. Passed a law making it much easier for military veterans to transition into jobs in the water industry. Secured funding to construct 21 units of permanent supportive housing for Veterans who have experienced chronic homelessness in Merced. Healthcare Secured more than $100 million to fund new graduate medical residency positions throughout the Central Valley. Wrote legislation that doubled operating hours for health clinics, meaning working families have more access to doctors, nurses and care. Secured coverage of continuous glucose monitors under Medi-Cal. Prior to this effort, Medi-Cal was the only health insurer in California that did not cover continuous glucose monitors despite serving the most vulnerable population in the state.[26] | ” |

2016
Gray's campaign website highlighted the following issues:
| “ | As an Assemblymember, Adam will continue to fight for issues that matter most to us in the Valley. Water - If nothing else, this drought is a reminder of the importance of increased storage capacity. For us in the Valley, sufficient water supplies can be the difference between a paycheck and an unemployment check. Recently, Southern California built a reservoir for their own use. If the people of Los Angeles can understand the importance of increased storage, so can the rest of California. Jobs – Supporting policies that help create good-paying jobs, incentivize investments in the Valley, and promote increased business activity will always be a top priority.UC Merced and Education – The full build out of UC Merced will have a tremendous impact on our community. Additionally K-12 education must have the resources it needs to ensure our children have the tools to either successfully enter into the job market or go to college. Preserving Ag - Agriculture is the economic backbone of the Valley. Ending state support of programs like Future Farmers of America does nothing to help prepare our students for careers in farming or preserve our rich agricultural heritage. Improving Infrastructure - We have lost the ability to build projects in California. Updating our infrastructure is the foundation upon which we ensure we have jobs, water, economic prosperity, and a good public education system.[26] | ” |
| —Adam Gray[29] | ||
2012
Gray's campaign website listed the following issues:[30]
- Creating Jobs – Supporting policies that help employers create good-paying jobs and invest in Valley communities.
- Preserving Agriculture – Fighting to support local farming and the Valley’s agricultural heritage, enabling farmers to compete globally.
- Ensuring Safe and Reliable Water – Supporting approaches to the Delta that ensure a safe and reliable water supply for consumers and farmers.
- Improving Our Schools – Working to improving public schools by making sure that students have the necessary tools and environment to learn.
- Sound Transportation – Supporting approaches to transportation and infrastructure that will create local jobs and best serve the needs of all Valley communities.

Scorecards
Ascorecard 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.
