CPAC Releases Rhode Island Legislative Scorecard, Exposing Extreme Leftism Packed into the Nation’s Smallest State. ALEXANDRIA, VA (March 13, 2024) — CPAC Foundation’s analysis reveals that Rhode Island’s Democrats readily followed their New England counterparts in advancing socialist Left policies at the state level. Democrats in the legislature averaged a little over 2% across both chambers and succeeded in passing a wide variety of key progressive agenda items. SEE SCORECARD HERE “Don’t let this state’s small size fool you, its progressive ego is as big as its neighboring states,” said CPAC Chairman Matt Schlapp. “Rhode Island is now issuing state ID’s to illegal immigrants and has granted voting rights to minors.” The following members of the Rhode Island State Legislature earned CPAC’s Award for Conservative Excellence for voting with the conservative position at least 90% of the time during the 2023 session: George Nardone (93%) Brian Rea (93%) Brian Newberry (92%) Patricia Morgan (91%) Additionally, a few lawmakers in the Rhode Island State Legislature earned CPAC’s Award for Conservative Achievement for voting with the conservative position at least 80% of the time during the 2023 session. Their names are highlighted in gray on the scorecard. The bills featured in CPAC’s 2023 Ratings of Rhode Island address infringements on Second Amendment rights, illegal immigration promotion, and weakened election security. These issues, coupled with our mission to protect life, liberty, property and upholding the American family, created the basis by which the CPAC Foundation rated the Rhode Island legislature. The Center for Legislative Accountability (CLA), an initiative of the CPAC Foundation, is the premier organization for holding lawmakers accountable. The CLA produces the longest-running conservative congressional scorecard and our state program is the only one in the nation that scores all 8,000 lawmakers in the 50 states across every policy area.

SEE SCORECARD HERE “If Washington or Oregon passes it, you can bet that New Mexico will be passing the same bills next session,” said CPAC Chairman Matt Schlapp. “The ability of blue states to step into line and force through similar legislation is a testament to the cohesion of the socialist Left everywhere.” CPAC recognizes the following members of the New Mexico State Legislature for earning CPAC’s Award for Conservative Excellence for voting with the conservative position at least 90% of the time during the 2023 session. Senate: Gregg Schmedes (100%) David Gallegos (95%) Gregory Baca (90%) Craig Brandt (90%) Pat Woods (90%) House: Cathrynn Brown (95%) Ambrose Castellano (95%) Micaela Lara Cadena (91%) Additionally, several lawmakers in the New Mexico State Legislature earned CPAC’s Award for Conservative Achievement for voting with the conservative position at least 80% of the time during the 2023 session.

CPAC Releases Maine Lawmaker Scorecard Record Number of Lawmakers Receive CPAC Awards for Fighting Left’s Radical Agenda ALEXANDRIA, VA (June 13, 2022) — CPAC has awarded a record 69 Maine state lawmakers for upholding conservative principles in their voting, determined through a new analysis conducted by the Center for Legislative Accountability (CLA), a project of CPAC Foundation and the American Conservative Union Foundation. The analysis covered votes cast in 2021, and the spike in awardees is largely a result of strong opposition by lawmakers to the radical agenda advanced by Democratic leadership and Governor Janet Mills. The strong opposition also helped raise Maine’s conservative rating to 41% (from 38% in 2019), but the state still significantly trails the national average of 49%. The 69 lawmakers who earned awards voted in line with the conservative position on at least 80% of the bills evaluated by the CLA. 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 regulatorypolicies. MAINE SCORECARD (Web Version) MAINE SCORECARD (PDF Version) The ratings have also been incorporated into CPAC’s new Lawmaker Comparison Tool which runs head-to-head comparisons on lawmaker’s strongest and weakest policy areas. The CLA is the first and only organization to annually publish individual ratings for all 8,000 federal and state lawmakers in America. The CLA is also home to the nation’s most comprehensive conservative policy database containing over 17,500 detailed bill analyses which span 50 years of Congress and all 50 state legislatures.

News & Releases Explore the latest updates, news, and product releases to stay informed and ahead of the curve. CPAC Releases Pennsylvania Legislative Scorecard, Exposing Deep Ideological Rifts in this Classic Swing State. ALEXANDRIA, VA (March 5, 2024) — CPAC Foundation’s analysis reveals the astounding extent to which Republican and Democrat policy ideologically diverges. While the divide between the chambers is not as pronounced as it is in Virginia, the difference that party rule in a legislature can make is still profoundly evident in the qualitative distinctions between what the Senate and House each passed. SEE SCORECARD HERE “Pennsylvania remains one of the few divided legislatures in the country with its slim one-seat Democrat majority in the House and narrow GOP control in the Senate,” said CPAC Chairman Matt Schlapp. “The bills passed by the House portend the grim ramifications that could be experienced if Republicans did not hold the Senate. In that case, Pennsylvanians would have their Second Amendment freedoms decimated, ballot harvesting normalized, and their taxes raised.” The following members of the Pennsylvania State Legislature earned CPAC’s Award for Conservative Excellence for voting with the conservative position at least 90% of the time during the 2023 session: Senate: Jarrett Coleman (100%) John DiSanto (92%) Cris Dush (92%) Scott Hutchinson (92%) Doug Mastriano (92%) Tracy Pennycuick (92%) Kristin Phillips-Hill (92%) Greg Rothman (92%) House: Stephanie Borowicz (100%) Joseph D’Orsie (100%) Wendy Fink (100%) Barbara Gleim (100%) Keith Greiner (100%) Joe Hamm (100%) Dawn Keefer (100%) Dallas Kephart (100%) David Maloney (100%) Clint Owlett (100%) Brad Roae (100%) Leslie Rossi (100%) David Rowe (100%) Joanne Stehr (100%) David Zimmerman (100%) Jacob Banta (95%) Jamie Barton (95%) Aaron Bernstine (95%) Martin Causer (95%) Mike Jones (95%) Rob Kauffman (95%) Charity Krupa (95%) Robert Leadbeter (95%) Stephenie Scialabba (95%) Brian Smith (95%) Perry Stambaugh (95%) Ryan Warner (95%) Michael Stender (93%) Mike Armanini (90%) Marla Brown (90%) Bud Cook (90%) Russ Diamond (90%) Seth Grove (90%) Rich Irvin (90%) Tom Jones (90%) Kate Klunk (90%) John Lawrence (90%) Milou Mackenzie (90%) Brett Miller (90%) Dan Moul (90%) Tina Pickett (90%) Kathy Rapp (90%) Paul Schemel (90%) Tim Twardzik (90%) Parke Wentling (90%) Additionally, a few lawmakers in the Pennsylvania State Legislature earned CPAC’s Award for Conservative Achievement for voting with the conservative position at least 80% of the time during the 2023 session. Their names are highlighted in gray on the scorecard. The bills featured in CPAC’s 2023 Ratings of Pennsylvania address Second Amendment rights, illegal immigration, and election security.
