The American Conservative Union
2013 STATE LEGISLATIVE RATINGS GUIDE NEW JERSEY The American Conservative Union took our highly touted Congressional Ratings program to the State Legislatures for the third year in a row, grading members on their votes on key conservative issues. In 2012, we graded State Legislatures in fifteen critical states, including Colorado, Florida, Wisconsin, North Carolina, Ohio and Virginia. In 2013, we expanded our ratings to twenty states. ACU first began rating members of Congress in 1971. Since then, our ratings system has become the most important conservative measuring stick in American politics -- the gold standard for voters seeking more information on their representatives’ records. Throughout the history of our conservative ratings program, the ACU has also become the go-to source for determining whether an elected official’s philosophical rhetoric matches his or her record. Our guides provide a comprehensive analysis of the legislative landscape over the preceding year. This differentiates us from other useful guides which may emphasize single areas, like taxes, Table of Contents defense, or social policy. 2 Our annual matrix covers issues running the gamut of legislative action, ACU Board Members ................. including domestic energy production, healthcare, government reform, A Letter From The Chairman ....... 3 climate change, border security, foreign policy, and social issues.

As some of the youngest leaders in their states, these conserva- tives are committed to the timeless principles and future of our nation. Join me in welcoming these leaders to CPAC and congratulating them on their accomplishments. I wish them continued success as they lead during these difficult times and advocate for conservatism.
