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.

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.

CPAC Endorses Sarah Huckabee Sanders Alexandria, VA – The Conservative Political Action Coalition (CPAC) today announced its endorsement of Sarah Huckabee Sanders for Governor of the State of Arkansas. “Sarah Huckabee Sanders is the right person to be the next governor Arkansas,” said CPAC Chairman Matt Schlapp. “Serving as President Trump’s press secretary for over two years, Sarah proved herself as a fighter who boldly and tirelessly fights the radical Left’s perversion of the truth at every turn. Our country is desperate for the kind of devotion to America’s founding principles that has become synonymous with Sarah’s reputation. We endorse Sarah because she is determined to govern Arkansas with a conservative philosophy and a commonsense agenda, including protecting Arkansans’ constitutional rights, thwarting the rise of socialism in Washington, and standing up for the people of her state. CPAC is proud to endorse Sarah Huckabee Sanders and we urge everyone in Arkansas to support her candidacy this election.” The Conservative Political Action Coalition (CPAC) is the nation’s original grass roots conservative organization. For more than fifty years, CPAC has served as an umbrella organization harnessing the collective strength of conservative organizations fighting for Americans who are concerned with liberty, personal responsibility, traditional values, strong national defense, and fighting the D.C. establishment.

CPAC International Board Resolution News & Releases Explore the latest updates, news, and product releases to stay informed and ahead of the curve. CPAC International Board Resolution BE IT RESOLVED by the Boards of CPAC and CPAC Foundation: 1. We condemn the police state tactics of Xi Jinping, Vladimir Putin, Lula da Silva, and Joe Biden and all of their attempts to silence, legally harass, and imprison their main political opponents. These are election interference crimes. In particular, we wish to lend our voice in strong support against the legal persecution being waged on Jaire Bolsonaro, Jimmy Lai, and President Donald Trump. 2. We condemn the attempts of the World Health Organization, in coordination with the Biden Administration, the Chinese Communist Party, and the Gates Foundation, to surrender national sovereignty to a de-facto global government through a radically revised public health “treaty.” The WHO agenda is a deliberate takeover of national governments’ sovereignty in order to implement the global elites’ oppressive agenda, which is an assault on communities, families, and religion. We stand strongly on the side of national sovereignty. This is an attempted WHO takeover of human dignity, and CPAC stands strongly against it. We encourage all freedom-loving countries to follow President Donald Trump’s lead and move to exit or defund the World Health Organization. 3. Israel is one of the few countries in the Middle East to exemplify the values of liberty, justice, and freedom. Globalists, anti-semites, and terror cartels are working hand-in-hand to annihilate the State of Israel. CPAC calls on nations around the globe to stand on the side of Israel, to recognize Jerusalem as her proper capital, and to fight religious discrimination in all its forms. Further, CPAC stands with our close ally Israel and supports Israel’s military operations to achieve total victory in Gaza and other fronts. CPAC calls on Joe Biden to end the hostage crisis in Israel, and eliminate the Iran-backed Hamas terrorists. These terrorists committed the deadliest attack on the Jewish people since the Holocaust. CPAC also condemns the reprehensible rise of anti-semitic attacks on Jewish students, educational institutions, and all throughout society. Today – and every day – CPAC stands with Israel. APPROVED on this 21st day of February, 2024. Matt Schlapp - Chairman NEWS & RELEASES .
