Civitas Institute Releases Conservative Effectiveness Rankings
Interested to see how conservative or liberal your state legislators are? The Civitas Institute has just released their Conservative Effectiveness Rankings:
Civitas tracks and reports on a wide variety of issues before the North Carolina General Assembly, ranging from taxes and spending to social issues. Accordingly, our rankings encompass three general categories: (1) economic and budget matters; (2) social and cultural issues, and (3) crime and justice. Civitas analyzes votes from each category to obtain a balanced, comprehensive picture of each individual member based upon recorded votes.
Each member of the House and Senate is ranked on a scale of 0 to 100.
The purpose of the “Ranking” is to inform the public, in as unbiased a method as possible, exactly where individual legislators stand on the ideological spectrum from liberal to conservative.
