Avard’s campaign website stated the following:

“

Kevin Avard: Bringing Balance to Our System
Many citizens of New Hampshire have been unjustly treated by either local, state or federal government agencies. They have been dismissed when coming before the establishment and their concerns have been disregarded. In response to government’s treatment of the citizens of NH, I have created my own company, the Center for the Redress of Grievances to address the real problems that NH is facing, the ones being ignored by NH’s politicians. As a Senator for District 12, I want to balance out the power of our system with more weight on the words of our citizens.

Kevin will be a State Senator who listens:
Due to his experience with the retardation of bureaucracy, Kevin decided to open the Center for the Redress of Grievances in New Hampshire. It was established officially in November of 2012 for the purpose of becoming a media outlet for those individuals who believe, and have documentation, that they have been unjustly treated by either local, state or federal government agencies. The company’s mission is to document their stories and get them out to the public. By collecting and organizing this data the Center For Redress will be able to better show the public, and our legislatures, that there are issues with some of our government agencies that may be widespread, and not the one individual case here and there.

The Center has been successful in helping address many NH citizen’s problems in the past two years. This is a project that has been a great source of pride for Avard, who believes that citizens need a balance of power that weighs on the side of the citizen.

Kevin Avard’s Values
In 2012, Kevin created the Center for the Redress of Grievance to become an outlet for the problems that New Hampshire citizens are facing. New Hampshire citizens deserve to have their voices heard and need someone to bring those voice to them. The Center for the Redress of Grievances to be a sounding board for the voice of the people of NH.

Kevin Avard on the Issues
Cronyism

Free Market competition is a combination of the passion of the human spirit and the drive to create a better life for one’s family. People have the innate right to be free and because of this, they have a right to create goods and services in an environment that supports them instead of stifles their creativity. Instead of lining the streets of gold with red tape, we should be creating better roads, paved with the future of the successful New Hampshire citizens. This means cutting the red tape of paperwork and legal roadblocks, to allow the citizens of New Hampshire to prosper.

Personal Freedom

One of the most important roles our government plays, is the protection of our rights. In New Hampshire we can see a role back on our freedom of speech, protest, and even our religious freedom. The importance of self-expression cannot be overstated. The citizens deserve to have all of their rights protected by the government, whose central duty is to secure these rights.

Unfunded Mandates

Promises are made by the government every day, and all of those promises have a dollar value. As a man of integrity, promises mean something to me. Government needs to slow down and honor their commitments. Right now, government has two issues, limited time and limited resources. Government needs to lift regulation off industry. This will allow more efficient solutions to come to the aid of New Hampshirites and this will free the government up to turn their time and money to the protection of citizen’s rights.

Soldier Son
Kevin’s son and son in-law are both in the military. He wrote ‘Soldier Son’ for Michael when he was in Afghanistan.

NH Capital Song
Click on the photo above to hear Kevin sign a song he wrote for the fourth and fifth graders who visit the NH Capital. With the Help of Kiley O’Brien and Jarrod Taylor a Ron Paul supporter and Lead guitarist for the Ron Noyes Band.[13]

Scorecards

See also:State legislative scorecards andState legislative scorecards in New Hampshire

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.
