Klippert's campaign website highlighted the following issues:

“

Public Safety

I will work to fight for proper Public Safety policy and funding to keep our community safe without criminal gang violence, and without the negative influence of illegal drugs in our schools and our communities.

Education

I will commit to improve the educational systems that will make sure this generation has the best opportunities for success in the globally competitive world of today.

Jobs, Free Enterprise and Support for Washington Businesses

I will NOT vote for socialized medicine in our state. I will encourage competition in the insurance marketplace, so we don't loose medical insurance providers in our region.

Energy and the Environment

We need a sound, common sense energy policy. I support nuclear energy and hydro-electric generation that are vital to our economy and agriculture using these low cost renewable energy sources.

I will NOT support cap & trade or carbon tax legislation in WA State but will continue to work toward common sense, reasonable protection of our environment.

Immigration

I support legal immigration into the United States and our state. Today the Federal Government is failing to uphold the law when it comes to illegal immigration. I would support legislation to allow our state to handle illegal immigration when the Federal Government fails. I oppose sanctuary cities. I support the H-1B visa program for temporary farm workers.[11]

”
—Brad Klippert[12]

2012

Klippert's website highlighted the following campaign themes:[13]

Jobs, State Budget, and the Economy

  • Excerpt: "What we need is greater fiscal responsibility in Olympia, and we will only get that with a fiscally conservative House of Representatives. Electing fiscally conservative candidates like myself across this great state will help to ensure we can get the job done, reign in excessive spending, and get back to a limited, constitutional government."

Limited Government and the 10th Amendment

  • Excerpt: "As your representative, I cosponsored legislation to claim state sovereignty rights under the 10th amendment here in WA State as well as the Right to Constitutional Government Act of 2010 and I will continue to work for you and our rights as your representative in Olympia."

Education

  • Excerpt: "When elected to another term as your representative, I will work to ensure that we have the environment that will best allow us to grow and prosper and make sure the next generation has the best opportunities for success in the globally competitive world we live in."

Energy

  • Excerpt: "What we need is a sound energy policy for our state, and I will work to ensure that these policies are both transparent and to the point. I will vote to reject any cap and trade program in WA State."

Community Safety

  • Excerpt: "I will do my best in Olympia to represent the people of the 8th Legislative District and to work hard to keep our communities safe."

Scorecards

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

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.

To find each legislator’s total, the Institute adds up the 10-year tax increases or decreases, as estimated by Washington’s Office of Financial Management, of all bills sponsored or co-sponsored by that legislator.[18]

2012

Klippert proposed a 10-year increase in state taxes and fees of $21.9 million, the 76th highest amount of proposed new taxes and fees of the 93 Washington state representatives on the Freedom Foundation’s 2012 Big Spender List.[19]

The Freedom Foundation also issued its 2012 Informed Voter Guide for Washington State voters, including a legislative score card documenting how Washington State legislators voted upon bills the Foundation deemed important legislation. The legislation analyzed covered budget, taxation, and pension issues.[20] A Approveda sign indicates a bill more in line with the Foundation's stated goals, and a Defeatedd sign indicates a bill out of step with the Foundation's values. Here's how Klippert voted on the specific pieces of legislation:
