Boyd's website highlighted the following campaign themes:[8]
Workforce Development & Our Economy
- Excerpt: "As your State Representative Boyd will garner even greater support from her Democratic allies and Republican champions during the upcoming biennium budget review and secure these crucial services for our underserved citizens."
Health and Human Services
- Excerpt: "Boyd understands that while we have taken strides in the right direction with Obama Care and Medicaid Expansion, we still have a long way to go. Vital steps include maintaining support services for seniors, veterans and children with special needs, protecting Women's Reproductive Rights and funding health and human services organizations."
Education
- Excerpt: "Boyd will seek to increase funding in early care and education opportunities, such as Head Start, universal preschool or star-rated quality childcare centers, so that children are set up to succeed rather than starting out behind. It isn’t enough to raise school standards – you must also invest in helping children attain them."
Sustainability
- Excerpt: "Janine Boyd believes that a sustainable approach should be applied to both our economy and our environment in order to develop and maintain thriving and resilient communities."
Justice System
- Excerpt: "Boyd believes that successful intervention must address a variety of issues, from mental health and substance abuse, to educational barriers, adult literacy, workforce development and re-entry. It is by addressing the root of the problem that we can present viable alternatives to crime and reduce recidivism rates."

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.
