The conservative DC-based group Heritage Action for America has released it’s scorecards for all members of Congress – and the top scoring member from New York is CNY Congresswoman Ann Marie Buerkle.
The House score is determined by 30 specific votes taken by members of Congress. They also looked at whether the member co-sponsored one of 5 bills. According to the press release, Heritage Action says the “votes cover the full spectrum of conservatism, and include legislative action on issues both large and small.”
“With each vote cast in Congress, freedom either advances or recedes,” Heritage Action’s CEO Michael A. Needham said. “Heritage Action’s scorecard will empower Americans to hold their Members of Congress accountable to conservative principles.”
