LETTER FROM THE STATE DIRECTOR 06 .................................................... BILL DESCRIPTIONS 10 ............................................................... SENATE VOTES 12 ..................................................................HOUSE VOTES 3 SCORING METHODOLOGY 4 = Voted with AFP-South Dakota’s position 8 = Voted against AFP-South Dakota’s position NA = Not Applicable E = Excused 4 | AmericansforProsperity.com/SouthDakota FELLOW SOUTH DAKOTANS, Welcome to the 2019-2020 Americans for Prosperity-South Dakota Legislative Key Vote Scorecard. The goal of this scorecard is simple: make government transparent to the people they represent. History has proven that free people are capable of extraordinary things—but many current laws hold South Dakotans back from truly thriving. That’s why our growing community of activists across the state are fighting every day to make the Mount Rushmore State a better place to live, work, and raise a family. We support legislation that enhances liberty and opportunity and oppose legislation that restricts those two concepts. As such, the bills listed in this scorecard reflect that. What you won’t see are grades or scores for individual legislators. What you will see is a description of issues and legislation with how our legislators voted during the two years that they served in this term. We hope this information helps you stay informed about how your Senators and Representatives have voted on important issues. If nothing else, it will serve as a basis for your conversations with them. We trust that policymakers are working to remove barriers that make it more difficult for South Dakotans to achieve their full potential and believe this tool will help shape their thinking toward that.
