Campaign website
Elmore’s campaign website stated the following:
| “ |
CONSERVATIVE VALUES Jeffrey Elmore has been fighting for us in the North Carolina General Assembly, standing up for our conservative values in Raleigh. Elmore sponsored and passed legislation to repeal the Pistol Purchase Permit process in North Carolina, which gave liberal sheriffs the capability to infringe upon our guaranteed Second Amendment rights. Elmore passed historic pro-life legislation that restricts abortion in North Carolina, overriding the veto of liberal Governor Roy Cooper. As Lieutenant Governor, Elmore will not stop being our conservative voice in Raleigh and keep North Carolina on the right track. GROWING OUR ECONOMY One of Elmore’s top priorities is to keep the government out of the way. FIGHTING CRIME STRENGTHENING EDUCATION Just some of what Elmore has gotten done for students and parents:

2014
In an article with the Carolina Journal, Elmore said about the following issues:[1]
- Excerpt: "He is interested in promoting the state’s business climate through lower taxes and deregulation."
Medicaid expansion
- Excerpt: "Elmore opposes Medicaid expansion, saying it would duplicate existing services with more inefficiency."
Green energy
- Excerpt: "Elmore is opposed to continuing subsidies for green energy. Technology has to stand on its own without support,” Elmore said. He told how people invest in green devices and abandon them as soon as the subsidies run out. Technology is not to the point that [alternative energy] is feasible, and the utilities only pass on the cost to consumers."
Education
- Excerpt: "Elmore said issues with abolishing teacher tenure would have to sort themselves out."

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.
