2016
Cordes' campaign website highlighted the following issues:[5]
An economy that works for us all
- Excerpt: "We must address growing income inequality in Vermont. I will work steadfastly for progressive tax reform that ensures corporations and the wealthy pay their fair share while also safeguarding and further developing the public services that are the foundation of equitable, healthy, and strong communities."
Vermont must lead on climate change
- Excerpt: "We must invest in a clean energy future, not a new fossil fuel infrastructure. This means putting a price on pollution and, “keeping it in the ground:” No fracked gas and no pipeline!"
Quality education from early childhood to higher education
- Excerpt: "We must maintain direct local engagement in school planning and governance, incentivize (not mandate) transformative planning, and protect smaller schools in rural areas that still provide high quality education and other critical services."
Health care is a right, not a privilege
- Excerpt: "Vermont must have a healthcare system that is financed and administered publicly with strong transparent government regulation that allows for ample public engagement."

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.
