Every election year, Tennesseans want to know how their state legislators have voted on a variety of conservative and pro-family issues because they realize that political candidates sometimes say one thing at election time and then, once elected, vote another way. That’s why we offer scorecards.

Each scorecard contains the voting record of all current legislators, both those in the state House and those in the state Senate. We scored all incumbents on legislation voted on either in committee or on the House or Senate floor. Each scorecard contains the names and district numbers for each legislator (starting with the House), scores on specific bills of particular importance, a symbol key, and a more in-depth explanation of the bills covered.
