The Turning Point Action Scorecard is the most comprehensive rating system in the conservative movement. We have provided scoring for key votes for this past session and will be continuing development for past and future votes. Our team has worked across the conservative movement to identify every scorecard and the legislation they encompass and provide an accumulation of scoring from across the Republican spectrum. Along with the information from other organizations, Turning Point Action has highlighted additional vital legislation for conservatives to consider, resulting in the most robust and transparent scorecard ever produced.

Turning Point Action looks at each vote individually, identifies the category it belongs in and works amongst the grassroots to identify the conservative position. If the representative votes with Turning Point Action’s position for each bill or nomination, they receive full points. If the representative votes against TPA’s position, they receive nothing. Not voting, present, and abstaining from voting gives the representative only half credit, thereby diminishing their score for neglecting their responsibility.

Dividing accumulated points by the number of bills a representative voted on gives the overall score percentage. Each issue score follows this same format but focuses on the bills that coincide with the issue.

A few house representatives have only voted on a limited number of bills  due to a lack of tenure in office; this is shown with a partial score label. This is a result of one of the following: a special election, removal from office, resignation, or death. For these representatives, a label of “N/A” is given for a vote they were not in office to complete. “N/A” does not affect the score of the representative.

Due to it still being early in the 118th session, no bills have come to the floor to be voted that fall within these categories. However, TPAction values these categories and has them listed anyways to ensure representatives know what needs to be done to save America.

Each State issues score is found by first finding the overall House score and overall Senate score by issue.Then the overall House score is added to the overall Senate score and divided by two to achieve the overall category state score.

Overall state scores are found by adding all state category scores and dividing them by the number of categories.
