2016

Quattrocchi's campaign website highlighted the following issues:

No tolls- I sat in hallways at the State House for two nights in a row. I waited 13 hours to be able to speak. I saw, first hand, the total disregard for the concerns of trucking company owners, small business owners and citizens who demanded that, “we the people”, do not want another crushing tax imposed on us in the form of tolls. This was rushed through in record time, against the will and consent of Rhode Islanders, and must be repealed.

Promote ethics reform- Most efforts to clean up our government are knee jerk type reactions which fall short of accomplishing anything, and only serve to resemble needed accountability. I would like to see an independent taskforce set up to aggressively pursue and punish corruption and abuse of public trust.

Support the line item veto- Although it doesn’t seem appealing to give our current governor any more power, I believe a line item veto would shed light on, who is responsible for a particular budget item, thus creating accountability.

End legislative, community and departmental grants- Although there are many needy and worthwhile organizations who receive them, these grants are slush funds whose only purpose are to gain popularity and, thus, votes for the people giving them. All spending needs to go through the budget process.

Fight for small business- With all the burdensome regulations and taxes that are imposed on businesses, the best relief they can come up with is a $50 savings on the yearly minimum corp. tax. Don’t spend it all in one place.[8]

—Robert Quattrocchi[9]

Scorecards

See also: State legislative scorecards and State legislative scorecards in Rhode Island

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.
