This scorecard helps you track how legislators are voting on important issues to improve transparency and hold officials accountable to how they vote, not just what they say.
Issue Categories
Grades are based on how lawmakers voted on legislation in these categories:
Grades and Scoring
Legislation is identified for scoring based on its impact on Louisiana residents in one of the seven issue categories above. Legislators are graded, just like you remember in school, based on what percentage of their votes are aligned with people’s interests.
Legislators receive an overall score and sub-scores by issue category. Anything below 60% is an F. Bonus points are awarded based on bill sponsorship, introducing positive or negative amendments and other significant acts of legislative leadership.
Grades are updated weekly based on lawmakers’ votes during the prior week.
Partner Organizations
