Story's campaign website highlighted the following issues:[6]
| “ |
Public education is the backbone of our society. I support exemplary funding for K-12 education across our state so students can learn from the best teachers in safe, up-to-date classrooms. I believe in accountability and transparency without overburdening our children and teachers with excessive testing.
College and technical training should be financially accessible to all high school graduates who wish to further their education. For far too many young people, crippling debt is the price of post-high school education. Colorado should be investing in it’s future, not limiting it.
People who perform the same or similar work should receive equal wages, regardless of gender or ethnicity. We must ensure that working Coloradans are earning enough to support their families.
All citizens should have equal rights and personal freedom without fear of discrimination. We must protect women’s rights to ensure women make their own healthcare decisions.
We must protect the beauty and open spaces in Colorado that make our community such a beautiful place to live. Concerns about global climate change, energy sources, and land, air and water pollution must be addressed with scientific, research-based decisions.[7] |

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.
Click here for an overview of legislative scorecards in all 50 states. To contribute to the list of scorecards, email suggestions to editor@ballotpedia.org.
