California 2011 Legislative Score Card
We acknowledge, with gratitude, that the following score cards are made possible by Capitol Track. (http://www.capitoltrack.com)
The purpose of this page is to tell you the scores that California Communities United Institute (CalComUI) has given to the voting records of California's state legislators and to California's Governor. To see the scores we have assigned to each legislator on each issue area, click the links below.
The legislator's tables below will tell you how each legislator voted on each bill. In all cases, CalComUI supported the bill. So, a score of "1" for a bill means the legislator voted for the bill, a score of "0" means the legislator voted against the bill, and a score of "0.5" means the legislator was absent or abstained from voting on that bill.
The legislator's scores for each bill in the following tables is assigned on the basis of a legislator's vote on the floor of the Senate or Assembly. We did not score legislator's votes in committees.
You can look at the tables to see how your Senator and Assembly Member voted on the bills. If you don't remember who they are, links near the top of each table will enable you to find out who they are.
If you have Excel on your computer, you can download any of the following tables and sort them in any way you like. For example, you might want to sort them by Party and then do an average score for the legislators in either or both parties. By contrast, you can sort them by score to see which legislators had the highest scores and which the lowest.
Legislators are fund raising for their next election. If a legislator comes to you for a donation, you may want to check his or her scores on the tables below to see if you want to support that legislator. The score cards may also help you to decide whom you want to vote for.
