2014
Sinicki's campaign website highlighted the following issues:[16]
Jobs
- Excerpt: "No matter what Gov. Walker and his Republican allies say, $7.25 per hour is NOT a living wage. I think it’s shameful that Republicans in Wisconsin want to continue to hurt so many workers and families here in Wisconsin by continuing to oppose an increase to our state’s minimum wage. I believe our state’s minimum wage should be a living wage, because no one working a full time job should be forced to live in poverty."
Public Education
- Excerpt: "During my time in the State Assembly, I have worked hard to ensure Wisconsin’s public education system, but never more than the past few years. Gov. Walker and Republicans in the Legislature have presided over historic cuts to funding for public education in Wisconsin, and I have fought hard to undo the damage they have done."
Veterans
- Excerpt: "Voters and especially veterans need to know where the candidates stand on this issue. We owe a debt to our Home Front Heroes and it is our moral duty to restore justice for veterans and their families."

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.
