McCray's website highlighted the following campaign themes:
| “ | As I meet residents, the one concern that continues to surface is the need for new leadership. They are ready for a fresh perspective. They want to make sure Baltimore educators have the resources they need to teach and our youth receive the support they need to ensure their success. Residents want state representatives who will advocate for new employment opportunities and support small businesses. They want leaders who work tirelessly to make Baltimore a safer place by focusing on serious crime and helping ex-offenders to seamlessly re-enter society.[5][6] | ” |

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.
