Irwin's campaign website highlighted the following issues:

“

Creating Good Jobs

Jacqui is working hard to help our local businesses and create jobs by creating new hiring incentives, streamlining regulations and permitting, and investing in transit and renewable energy—the same principles that helped foster strong job growth and development in Thousand Oaks. She also believes we can make our economy vibrant again if we commit to fiscal responsibility. This means paying down our debt and balancing the budget without fail. Jacqui will continue to bring Democrats and Republicans together to get these things done, setting aside differences to continue to provide effective leadership in Sacramento.

Education

Jacqui believes California should be a leader in public education. This means committing funding and working with all stakeholders to find creative solutions and opportunities. Education shouldn't be a privilege; that includes higher education, which should be an affordable option for everyone. Jacqui believes we must think long term: Investing in education gives us a skilled workforce that can think analytically and compete globally. It improves our economy and our quality of life.

Keeping Families Safe

Assemblymember Jacqui Irwin is committed to the safety of children and neighborhoods. That's why she has authored legislation to provide parents with the ability to monitor their child's credit report to protect against identity theft. She is leading the fight to ban the sale, manufacturing, and distribution of powdered alcohol to help combat adolescent binge drinking and she is recognized as a leader in Cybersecruity in the Legislature.

Environment

By cutting through years of stalled bureaucratic red tape, Assemblymember Jacqui Irwin successfully led efforts to open up a pipeline bringing much needed recycled water to Oxnard farmers. She has worked to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, improve our water quality and encourage sustainable farming through the expansion of organic food waste recycling and she expanded Solar Energy Programs to help CA residents save money. While serving on the City Council, she spearheaded the efforts to make the wastewater treatment facility operate on 100% renewable energy.[14]

”
—Jacqui Irwin[15]

2014

Irwin's website highlighted the following campaign themes:[16]

Creating good jobs

  • Excerpt: "Jacqui wants to make California a land of opportunity again by creating new hiring incentives, streamlining regulations and permitting, and investing in transit and renewable energy—the same principles that helped foster strong job growth and development in Thousand Oaks."

Improving education

  • Excerpt: "As your assembly member, Jacqui won’t leave any of our classrooms behind to fight for resources. She believes California should be a leader in public education. This means committing revenue. It means getting creative."

Keeping families safe

  • Excerpt: "Jacqui understands that keeping our families safe is a constant concern."

Balancing the budget

  • Excerpt: "At the state level, Jacqui believes we must take immediate action to end the cycle of boom and bust budgets that continues to threaten our economy and middle class. Our first priority should be paying off the state’s debt and building a reserve to ensure we don’t plummet back into $26 billion deficits."

Scorecards

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

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.
