2016

Heiner's campaign website highlighted the following issues:

“	Education Wyoming Hathaway Scholarship Program was one of the greatest achievements of our past legislature. It helps to keep our youth in Wyoming and provides economically viable means for them to gain a post-secondary education. Education is one of the best tools we give our youth to help them succeed. I will foster efforts to provide quality education and opportunities for our future generations to succeed. Economy Job losses in mining (including oil & gas) of 10,259 during last 6 months of 2015. This is not only loss of jobs, but this has affected almost every family in the state as our economy struggles. The repercussions resonate throughout our state as it affects budgets in our schools, cities and counties. Wyoming is blessed with abundant natural resources that can be developed in a safe and environmentally friendly manner. Medicaid Expansion Medicaid expansion would have provided the state $268 million in federal funds over the next 2 years to extend coverage to 17,000 Wyoming citizens. The federal government will provide 100% of the cost of expansion. Beyond 2020, Wyoming will have to cover 10%. If we support this, Wyoming will need to come up with nearly $30 million annually to cover our portion. We need to evaluate where this money will come from in these tough economic times before we commit ourselves to the program. Public Land Access Public lands are for all to enjoy. There are too many that want to limit access to Public Lands. I will work to keep our Public Lands open for all to enjoy.	”
—Scott Heiner,

Scorecards

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

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.
