OCPA 2020 Legislative Scorecard

7/25/2020

Comments

 

​Where Does Your Legislator Stand?

  Learn how your state legislators are voting at the Oklahoma Capitol on issues related to the principles of limited government, free markets, individual initiative, and personal responsibility. The scorecard continued updating throughout the 2020 legislative session as legislators continued casting votes on bills. Each legislator’s score is out of of 100 possible percentage points.
  Oklahoma Council of Public Affairs, Inc. (“OCPA”) reviews all bills eligible for consideration by the Oklahoma Legislature in the legislative session. OCPA then, based on its charitable mission, selects bills for inclusion on the scorecard watch list. The watch list is publicly released at the start of session and updated as session progresses. The watch list is also sent to all legislators. OCPA selects bills from the watch list and scores legislators based on their votes on those bills and how the bills impact Oklahoma citizens. Scoring is not based on political affiliation but is based solely on a legislator’s votes on particular public policy issues.

    Oklahoma Council of Public Affairs

      For 25 years, OCPA has served as Oklahoma’s largest and most influential free-market based think tank. We conduct research and analysis of public issues in Oklahoma from a perspective of limited government, individual liberty, and a free-market economy.
      Over the years, OCPA has steadily increased in breadth, scope and ultimately, effectiveness. As long as government exists, there needs to be an organization to keep it accountable. In Oklahoma, we are that organization. And our policy work provides the road map for our state’s success.
      Policy matters because people matter. It matters that students attend high-quality schools. It matters that small business owners are free from red tape. It matters that government is responsible and limited. It matters that the most vulnerable have access to opportunity.
      And you matter to us.

 SoonerPolitics.org is committed to informing & mobilizing conservative Oklahomans for civic reform & restored liberty. We seeks to utilize the efforts of all cooperative facets of the Conservative movement... Content of the diverse columns are solely at the discretion of the dozens of websites who create the content.   David Van Risseghem  is the founder of this platform.
 Sooner Politics News is a platform, not a media site. All our bloggers get their feeds promoted regardless of content. As soon as We suppress or delete even one posting, we become an endorser of whatever We didn't censor..The publisher doesn't (and could not) logically agree with all the content, so we would not expect any rational reader to agree, either. What we do hope, is that readers will think for themselves, and at least be better informed of the issues, events, and values that our citizen journalists work hard to provide for free.. We automate much of the tasks so that our sources' content gets as much exposure as possible. We encourage constructive discussion & debate. The solution is more free speech, not less.​
