2012
Campaign website
Mansoor's website highlighted the following campaign themes:[6]
- "My entire career has been dedicated to public service. While I was working as a Deputy Sheriff, I ran for City Council because city leadership was not responsive to concerns from local residents. To make sure the entire community had a voice, I instituted an open-door policy I maintain to this day. After eight years on the Costa Mesa City Council, I ran for State Assembly. I left my job with the Sheriff's Department and gave up retirement with a full pension, so I could work on the problems that are bankrupting California. Despite California's problems, I'm optimistic about our future, and I'm looking forward to my campaign for re-election. Together we can make sure California continues to be the greatest state in the nation."

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.
