Following the release of the legislative scorecard, AFP Missouri Deputy State Director Rachel Payton released the following statement:

“Missourians deserve to know how their State Legislators voted on the issues. Our scorecard breaks it down vote by vote. This is a great resource for our activists, where they can see how their representatives voted, and decide if this person truly represents their views. There are several B grades that we are optimistic can be raised to “A” grades by the end of next legislative session. We look forward to working to promote economic freedom and liberty with those who have earned high marks on our scorecard.”

Americans for Prosperity Missouri is the state’s foremost group of grassroots activists advocating for limited government and economic freedom.
