1st PAChyderm legislative ratings of 2009 are in

Pachyderm Coalition Republican Legislator Rankings

Legislative Actions as of 3/13/09

Last Updated 3/15/09

Grades can range from +100% (supports Republican principles) to -100% (opposes Republican principles)

Ratings will be updated on a weekly basis.

Please refer to our FAQs section located after the strike all bills. It responds to some of the questions we have been getting regarding the grades assigned.

Rank for legislators with the same Grade is determined by bill sponsorship and votes cast. For example, a legislator with 3 committee votes would get a better rank than one with 2 committee votes if they have the same Grade.

Legislators are assigned to a Group based on their latest rating.

Over 90 is a Reagan Republican.

Over 75 is a Pro-Freedom Republican.

Over 50 is a Republican.

Over 25 is a Big Government Republican.

Over 0 is a Bipartisan Republican.

Zero or less is a Republican In Name Only (RINO).

All grades shown are cumulative grades as of the date indicated.
