Zimmerman's campaign website highlighted the following issues:^[9]

• Excerpt: "I believe in upholding the constitution"

• Excerpt: "I believe in smaller government. Reagan began to reign in big government, and Obama has put it on steroids. I support a smaller legislature."

• Excerpt: "We continue to make laws but rarely take any away. This is problematic."

• Excerpt: "I believe our government should live within its means, spending no more than it takes in."

• Excerpt: "Local government is the most effective government (Township, Borough and School Board). It is the most efficient form of government, because it is closes to the people. Local and State governments need to be in constant dialog, working together and supporting each other. Unfortunately, state and local governments tend to work independently. I believe this needs to change."

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.
