LEGISLATIVE SCORECARD 2013 Session of the General Assembly IS YOUR LEGISLATOR LISTENING TO YOU? This Legislative Scorecard details the voting record of all Missouri General Assembly members on critical public policy issues facing the state. It gives you accurate information about how your legislators have voted. The ten bills selected represent crucial choices on issues important to the quality of life of all Missourians. All but two bills passed both chambers and were sent to the Governor’s desk. So far, at the time of printing, he has already vetoed several of the bills including paycheck deception, circuit breaker tax credit, Sharia law and the gun bill .

Votes recorded in this scorecard include such issues as protecting workers’ rights and teacher tenure, pre- serving women’s reproductive rights, protecting against discrimination and preventing tax cuts that hurt the 98 percent. With this scorecard, you have the information to demand that your legislators respond to you, rather than the big money special interests that are trying to dominate our government.

This scorecard is just one way to evaluate your representatives. Much of the work concerning bills and amendments is done in committee and many important bills never make it to the House or Senate floor for a vote. ProVote encourages you to use the scorecard as one tool to understand your legislator’s perform- ance.

ProVote encourages you to copy this scorecard and distribute it widely. COMMUNICATE WITH WHAT IS PROVOTE?

Sue Meredith METHODOLOGY ProVote, in consultation with our member groups, selected ten bills on a broad range of issues to create a progressive index percentage for each legislator in the 2013 session. Because each member group only focused on the bills pertinent to its core mission, this progressive index percentage should be seen as ProVote’s evaluation, not as that of all ProVote member groups. Each member group may not have a stance on each bill.

For each bill, the pertinent groups determined whether a vote of “yes” or “no” counted as “progressive.”

The progressive index percentage is based on votes cast during the regular session. In cases where the legislator was “absent,” the vote was not included in the calculation. In cases where the legislator voted “present,” the vote was counted as an unpro- gressive vote. You can verify all of the votes by going to www.house.mo.gov or www.senate.mo.gov and reviewing the jour- nal for the date of the vote.
