Campaign website
The following is from Rarick's campaign announcement video.
“ |
I want to represent your values in the Minnesota Senate. I believe we all value protecting life at all stages, that we can fund transportation without raising the gas tax, that we should be protecting our Second Amendment rights, and that we should be funding broadband to our rural areas. I would be proud to bring my experience as a 30-year union electrician to the Minnesota Senate. It's an experience that is different to the Republican Party than normal. I also bring the experience of living in the district for my entire life and now on the farm that I purchased from my grandparents, that has been in my family for four generations.[12] |

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.
