“

Education: It’s time to change how we fund public education and end outdated funding formulas that cost Austin families millions every year.

Campus Carry: Public universities need the same right as private universities to opt out of campus carry, and we need more funding for mental health.

Reproductive Rights: We must stop the Republican assault on women's reproductive rights and restore funding to Planned Parenthood.[6]

”

Scorecards

See also: State legislative scorecards and State legislative scorecards in Texas

A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.

Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
