Hinds' campaign website highlighted the following issues:

“

We can strengthen our economy by creating more quality jobs & preparing the workforce to fill them

  • Our region’s economic future depends on the success of our small to medium sized businesses. I will support entrepreneurship and the sustainable growth of our existing businesses.

We can have an educational system that is funded appropriately with the curriculum our children need for success

  • I support programs like universal pre-kindergarten and full-day kindergarten to close the achievement gap that disproportionately disadvantages low income students, english language learners and students with disabilities. These programs help ensure students are reading proficiently by third grade, which is a significant measure of a child’s future success.

We can secure lower energy costs for residents and businesses while meeting our commitment to develop renewable energy sources

  • I will work with business and clean energy leaders to accelerate the growth of the Commonwealth’s clean energy sector to meet energy needs. We need to urgently invest in reducing the cost and increasing the deployment of clean energy technologies.

We can create a clear community & district wide strategy to tackle the heroin epidemic

  • This is a disease that can touch the life of anyone, and a comprehensive strategy must include prevention, intervention, and treatment.

We can reverse population decline by prioritizing the above while promoting the robust opportunities our district has to offer

  • But reversing population decline will not happen in a vacuum. To do so, our region needs robust economic development, strong school systems, lower energy costs and pathways away from addiction for our youth. I have spent my career bringing people together to get things done locally and across the globe. I will be a strong voice in Boston on these issues.[5]
 ”
—Adam G. Hinds, [6]

Scorecards

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

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.

Legislators are scored by the organization on votes that "can show the distinction between a progressive legislator, and everyone else."
