Scheu's campaign website highlighted the following issues:[5]
A healthy economy
- Excerpt: "With a virtually flat rate of growth, an aging population, fewer young people and young families in Vermont, we need to develop policies and practices that provide opportunities for our citizens which will in turn strengthen our economy."
Environment
- Excerpt: "Climate change threatens our economy, our environment, and our way of life. It is critical to plan for the future now and take responsible leadership in reducing Vermont's climate impact."
Education
- Excerpt: "Our education system is linked directly to our economy. Without a well-educated citizenry, employers are unable to find the workers they need and people will be unable to obtain well-paying jobs."

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.
