Legislative Actions as of 6/27/08

Last Updated 7/22/08

The legislative session ended 6/27/08. The current grades are final results for the session. Nobody has suggested we make any changes to our evaluation since the session ended. If you have any suggestions for ways to improve our evaluation for next year, please send us your suggestions.

Grades can range from +100% (supports Republican principles) to -100% (opposes Republican principles)

Ratings will be updated on a weekly basis.

Please refer to our new FAQs section located after the strike all bills. It responds to some of the questions we have been getting regarding the grades assigned.

Rank for legislators with the same Grade is determined by bill sponsorship and votes cast. For example, a legislator with 3 committee votes would get a better rank than one with 2 committee votes if they have the same Grade.

Legislators are assigned to a Group based on their latest rating.

Over 75 is a Reagan Republican.

Over 50 is a Pro-Freedom Republican.

Over 25 is a Republican.

Over 0 is a Big Government Republican.

Zero or less is a Republican In Name Only (RINO).

All grades shown are cumulative grades as of the date indicated.
