EXCLUSIVE: Heritage Action Scorecard Reveals Which Lawmakers Are Fighting for Conservative Values

FIRST ON THE DAILY SIGNAL — Heritage Action has released their Heritage Action Scorecard, a database that puts members of congress’ voting records up against conservative priorities. The scorecard grades members of congress by analyzing the members’ voting record on core issues for the conservative agenda the American people voted for in the 2024 presidential election when they delivered President Donald Trump a mandate victory. “The Heritage Action Scorecard is the ultimate litmus test for whether conservatives in Congress are in alignment with their campaign promises,” Kevin Roberts, president of Heritage Action, told The Daily Signal. “This Scorecard shows, in no uncertain terms, lawmakers who are meeting those expectations and those who are falling short.” Votes weighed by the scorecard include the SAVE America Act, the One Big Beautiful Bill, the rescissions package, Obamacare subsidy extensions, blocking the Central Bank Digital Currency, and efforts to defund rogue non-governmental organizations.

More importantly, it publicly celebrates lawmakers who have chosen to lead with courage.” Heritage Action has been tracking member’s conservative record for more than a decade. While Republicans are in the majority in both the House and the Senate, only a few received a perfect score. In the House, 6% of lawmakers earned a perfect score, many of them members of the conservative House Freedom Caucus. Some headlining members include Republican Reps. Byron Donalds of Florida, Mary Miller of Illinois, and Brandon Gill, Chip Roy, and Keith Self of Texas. Only three senators, Republican Sens. Ted Budd of North Carolina, Mike Lee of Utah, and Jim Banks of Indiana, earned a perfect score.

Sen. Thom Tillis, R-N.C., scored 50%, Sen. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, earned a 31%, and Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, scored only 23%. The Heritage Action scorecard will continue to grade members throughout the year, which means there’s still time for members of congress to improve their scores by voting to codify the Trump agenda and for conservative priorities, as well as co-sponsoring key legislation. Heritage Action told The Daily Signal that while co-sponsorships do not carry the same weight as major floor votes, co-sponsoring critical legislation signals a lawmaker’s wiliness to help lock in conservative policy gains for the future.
