2014
Eggman's website highlighted the following campaign themes:[13]
Karriere
- Excerpt: "Our past, present and future have always been Agriculture. We have the richest agriculture land in the world, and I will fight to ensure our tradition. I believe we can expand our local economy by promoting Agro-tourism; the public has a growing interest in food and where it comes from, which presents new opportunities for us."
Bildung
- Excerpt: "Stockton and the San Joaquin valley have an opportunity right now to transform our work force for the 21st century. We need education to be available and relevant"
Safety
- Excerpt: "The State government must insure that local government has the resources to keep our community safe. I would oppose efforts to put more state prisoners in our local jails until we actually have the money to put these folks behind bars."
Water and Natural Resources
- Excerpt: "I have served on the Delta Protection Commission for the past three years. Water is vital to our local economy and I will continue to work at the State level to insure we retain local control over our water and our future."
Health and Wellness
- Excerpt: "Government needs to provide the means for communities to define themselves in ways that promote health and wellness. Healthy engaged communities where streets are safe and people have access to healthy foods are communities with less crime and the higher potential for meaningful employment."

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.
