CPAC Chairman Matt Schlapp responds to unprecedented FBI raid on Mar-a-Lago Alexandria, VA — CPAC Chairman Matt Schlapp released the following statement in response to the FBI’s unprecedented raid on President Trump’s home in Mar-a-Lago: “We are witnessing the disintegration of the Left coalition in America. But as it breaks it is lurching more aggressively. It’s time for each American to stand for each other and rid this nation of this socialist reign of terror. The Deep State will do anything in its power to slime President Trump. We are becoming a Banana Republic. I urge conservatives to be outraged. We must defend the country and the Constitution from this coup. Americans need to keep growing the big Red Wave and save the country from these corrupt fascists. We have to fire Nancy Pelosi and Save America. In the CPAC straw poll conducted just days ago, an overwhelming 91% of CPAC activists believe the Deep State is the greatest threat facing America. Today the FBI proved them right.” ### NEWS & RELEASES .

In CPAC’s analysis of all 7,400 state lawmakers in America, the Rhode Island legislature earned a conservative rating of a mere 20% (a significant drop from 24% in 2020). Rhode Island now only trails Hawaii (19%) and Massachusetts (15%) as most liberal in America. The conservative rating is calculated through CPAC’s scorecards and is based on lawmaker voting across 186 policy areas ranging from cultural and life issues to tax, fiscal, and regulatory policies. Each year the CLA tallies over 320,000 votes to generate the scores. Only 6 Rhode Island Republican lawmakers earned awards from CPAC for earning conservative ratings of 80% and above. However, an astounding 52 lawmakers earned CPAC’s “Coalition of the Radical Left” award for conservative ratings of 10% or below.

CPAC to Honor Conservative Champions at 54th Annual Congressional Ratings Ceremony News & Releases Explore the latest updates, news, and product releases to stay informed and ahead of the curve. CPAC to Honor Conservative Champions at 54th Annual Congressional Ratings Ceremony FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Tuesday, May 20, 2025 Contact: Hannah Stone (225) 329-3497 h annah@salemstrategiesllc.com Washington, DC (May 20, 2025) — The Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) Foundation will host its 54th Annual Ratings of Congress Award Ceremony on May 20, 2025, at 5:30 PM ET at the Capitol Hill Club in Washington, D.C. The event will celebrate the conservative lawmakers who stood strong in the face of pressure, voted with conviction, and earned top marks on the CPAC Foundation’s official scorecard—America’s gold standard for evaluating elected officials. Highlights from the 2025 Senate Scorecard Include: Conservative Excellence honorees include Senators Mike Lee, JD Vance, Ron Johnson, Rick Scott, and Roger Marshall, each earning a perfect 100% rating. The average Republican score in the Senate was 73%, while Democrats averaged just 6%, with many scoring below 10%. Key issues scored included votes on foreign aid, border security, abortion legislation, and federal spending. The scorecard reveals a growing rift within the GOP between strong conservative fighters and establishment moderates. “This ceremony isn’t just a celebration—it’s a line in the sand,” said CPAC Chairman Matt Schlapp. “We’re calling out those who delivered for the American people and holding accountable those who didn’t. Our country deserves leaders who stand up, not sell out.” Earlier today, President Trump’s visit to Capitol Hill underscored the urgency of the conservative agenda, as he echoed CPAC’s calls for bold leadership on border security, fiscal sanity, and cultural integrity—telling reporters that 'Republicans must fight like hell for the soul of our country.' His remarks serve as a powerful backdrop to tonight’s ceremony, which honors those doing exactly that. The ceremony will recognize Senators who received the Conservative Excellence Award (90% and above) and Conservative Achievement Award (80–89%), as well as House members who met the same criteria in CPAC’s corresponding House Scorecard. CPAC’s Ratings of Congress have served as the nation’s most respected legislative scorecard since 1971. Unlike many partisan ratings, CPAC’s analysis focuses on substantive legislative issues that impact everyday Americans—border security, life, limited government, and fiscal responsibility. In a year marked by record spending, border chaos, and aggressive cultural policy battles, CPAC’s scorecard reveals exactly who took a stand and who stood down. With votes tracked on issues ranging from the $95 billion foreign aid bill (H.R. 815) to radical abortion legislation (S. 4554), the Ratings of Congress expose what every American deserves to know: how their representatives are really voting behind closed doors. CPAC encourages all award recipients, members of Congress, staff, and media to attend this powerful evening to honor courage, leadership, and accountability. To RSVP, contact mbeardsley@conservative.org . Additional details will be provided upon confirmation.
