The Arizona Conservative Coalition’s (ACC) most recent legislator ratings, reflecting legislative actions as of 5/21/2013 is now available. Click here for the updated report.
Legislators are assigned to a group based on their latest rating. Bills used in the evaluation along with the summary of criteria used to weight bills can be seen here. There is also an excellent, concise analysis of each bill considered.
Check out the FAQs section, which answers the question, “Why is a particular legislator rated better or worse then I would have expected?”
Be sure to take time to review Howard Levine’s informative weekly narrative, which provides background on the tracking process.
The folks at ACC provide individual grades for Arizona’s Republican Representatives and Senators. There is quite a variation. This week the Senate ratings range from a high of 92.4 down to the bottom-dragging RINO category of 38.5.
In the House of Representatives the top scorer received a 95.1 with the bottom of the list rating a weak RINO rating of 47.8.
Just days ago we witnessed a disgraceful act of Republican treachery, with 6 GOP state Senators colluding with and voting in tandem with the cohesive Democrats to endorse Arizona’s ObamaCare Medicaid Expansion, irresponsibly being pushed by Gov. Jan Brewer.
The Senate’s 13 Democrats hung together supporting the costly and unsustainable scheme. The 6 Republican collaborators voting with them are Rich Crandall (LD-16), Adam Driggs (LD-28), John McComish (LD18), Steve Pierce (LD-1), Michele Reagan (LD-23) and Bob Worsley (LD-25).
Remember their names when the upcoming elections roll around. Not one of these defectors is worthy of conservative support.
