Campaign website

Householder’s campaign website stated the following:

“

ERIC’S PLATFORM
TAXPAYERS FIRST!
PROTECTING THE TAXPAYER DOLLAR
As Auditor, Eric Householder will protect the taxpayer dollar by closing the State’s checkbook to anyone misusing State funds. Eric will improve State disclosures and reports to the public to ensure every citizen can understand the flow of taxpayer funds in the state. Additionally, he promises to continue the fight to protect seniors from financial fraud through the State Auditor’s Securities division.

TRANSPARENT, EFFECTIVE GOVERNMENT
Taxpayers deserve a government that works for them, not red-tape bureaucrats. As Auditor, Eric will redesign and expand the State’s transparency program to make it even easier for citizens to keep an eye on the State’s books. As a small business owner, Eric’s experience proves he’s the most qualified leader to reform and improve inefficient government systems and processes.

ZERO TOLERANCE FOR FRAUD AND CORRUPTION
Eric supports the State Auditor’s Public Integrity and Fraud Unit and when elected, will ensure no fraud tip goes uninvestigated. As Auditor, he will ensure the public can report wrongdoing with one click or tap and will aggressively prosecute fraud and corruption. Eric has a message for those who steal taxpayer dollars: we will find you and hold you accountable.

Taxpayers First![14]

Scorecards

See also: State legislative scorecards and State legislative scorecards in West Virginia

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.
