5 About ACUF The American Conservative Union was founded in 1964 by William F. Buckley, Jr. and other conservative luminaries as an umbrella organization to harness the collective strength of the conservative revolution. ACU excels in combining ideas with action, developing policy positions based on conservative political philosophy and educating and training thousands of grassroots activists. Dating back to 1974, ACU hosts the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), the world s largest gathering of conservatives. CPAC serves as a platform for the nation s elected officials, thought leaders and grassroots activists and organize around the seminal issues facing our country. The ACU Foundation (ACUF) is the 51(c)(3), educational arm of ACU. Since 1971, ACUF has produced the nation s longest-running conservative congressional scorecard. In the states, ACUF is the only organization that evaluates every single bill and produces individual scores for every single lawmaker in each of the 99 legislative chambers in all 5 states. Furthermore, ACUF and its Senior Fellows provide conservative solutions to some of our nation s most pressing issues through their work with the Foundation s five Policy Centers: Criminal Justice Reform; 21st Century Property Rights; Human Dignity; Statesmanship and Diplomacy; and Arts & Culture.

It has since grown to evaluate all 5 states, 99 legislative chambers and over 7,4 elected officials. For each state, ACUF produces an individualized scorecard containing key bills voted on during that state s legislative session for each lawmaker. Year in Review is a compilation of all the data contained in each of these 5 individual state scorecards. Methodology Like ACUF s Ratings of Congress, the Foundation s state legislative ratings illustrate how an elected official views the role of government in an individual s life. When determining a stance on a particular issue, ACUF begins by defining conservatism: the political philosophy that sovereignty resides in the person. Then, we apply the Founders belief that the proper role of government is to protect life, liberty and property. 217 RATINGS of OHIO TABLE OF CONTENTS In order to depict how closely a lawmaker adheres to conservative principles, ACUF selects from the full spectrum of issues relating to the economy, social issues and government integrity. Some key areas include taxation, spending, education, labor, licensure, regulation, environment, life, free speech, and Second Amendment rights. All individual state analyses are conducted after the adjournment of a legislative session to ensure that no issue is neglected. Each lawmaker is evaluated on a zero to 1 scale, with a score of 1 representing a voting record that is perfectly aligned with conservative principles. Officials who earn a score of 9 percent or higher are presented with ACUF s highest honor, the Award for Conservative Excellence, while those who earn a score of 8 percent or greater, but less than 9 percent, are presented with the Award for Conservative Achievement. Additionally, any lawmaker who earns a score of 1 percent or less is recognized as part of ACUF s Coalition of the Radical Left. 2 AMERICAN CONSERVATIVE UNION FOUNDATION RATINGS OF THE STATES - YEAR IN REVIEW

8 Metrics 14,372 bills evaluated 1,893 bills scored 7,434 legislators rated To determine this year s rankings, ACUF evaluated over 14, bills that were introduced in the 217 legislative session running from January 1 to December 31. Of those bills, ACUF ultimately selected 1,893 pieces of legislation across all 5 states that best illustrated how an elected official views the role of government in an individual s life. The Foundation calculated individual scores for a total of 7,433 state lawmakers based on over 144, votes cast on the 1,893 bills selected. ACUF provided a score for each legislative chamber of the states, which is based upon the average individual scores of all members within that respective chamber. A state s overall score is calculated by averaging each state s two legislative chambers together in order to better reflect the differences in political power between the chambers. (The exception being Nebraska, the nation s only unicameral legislature comprising a single legislative chamber, upon which the state s overall score was based.) 4 AMERICAN CONSERVATIVE UNION FOUNDATION RATINGS OF THE STATES - YEAR IN REVIEW
9 The Highlights For the third consecutive year, Tennessee earned ACUF s We the People Award for earning the nation s highest overall score of percent. Massachusetts was the most liberal state for the second consecutive year, earning an overall score of 15.6 percent. The Tennessee Senate earned the award for the most conservative upper chamber (86.2 percent) and the Wyoming House earned the award for the most conservative lower chamber (75.87 percent). The average state score rose 1.85 percentage points to percent for the 217 legislative session, and a total of 31 states earned higher overall scores compared to the 216 legislative session. South Dakota was the state with the greatest year-over-year increase with a 2.85 percent improvement. The following seven states saw significant improvement (an increase of 1 percent or more): Ohio, Iowa, Alaska, Kentucky, Louisiana, Connecticut and Wyoming. The following states faltered by more than 1 percent compared to the 216 session: Mississippi, Indiana, New Mexico and Kansas. South Carolina once again earned the lowest overall score among the 24 states where control both chambers and the governorship (31.56 percent), while Delaware received the highest overall score among the seven states where control both chambers and the legislature (45.53 percent). Of course, governors ultimately decide whether to sign or veto legislation. Based on our interactions, three governors stood out as particularly strong leaders in driving a conservative agenda: Matt Bevin (Kentucky), Scott Walker (Wisconsin) and Pete Ricketts (Nebraska). TN: Most Conservative Legislature MA: Least Conservative Legislature SC: Least Conservative Legislature under Republican Control DE: Most Conservative Legislature under Democrat Control Additionally, ACU appreciates the determined and principled actions of Paul LePage (Maine) for his use of the veto pen to stop a radical liberal agenda. With 132 vetoes in 217, LePage s seven-year record stood at 551 vetoes at the end of the legislative year. Conversely, a handful of governors consistently vetoed conservative reforms: John Kasich (Ohio), Terry McAuliffe (Virginia), Mark Dayton (Minnesota), and Steve Bullock (Montana). Gov. Kasich has been especially disappointing considering of the Ohio General Assembly were ranked as the most conservative in the nation for 217 (97.69 percent).

44 Contribute to the Foundation ACUF's Center for Legislative Accountability Founded in 1971 as the original conservative scorecard, ACUF ratings are the gold standard for holding elected officials accountable for their votes. Today, ACUF remains the only organization to rate every lawmaker in America, every session, across the full spectrum of issues. Expanding on that legacy, ACUF s newly launched Center for Legislative Accountability exists to demonstrate that conservative governance yields the best outcomes for society by equipping legislators, thought leaders and activists with evidence of the link between pursuing conservative policies and creating the greatest opportunities for people to lead fulfilling lives. To accomplish that mission, ACUF educates American citizens through its ratings initiative about how over 8, federal and state elected officials view the role of government in a person s life, holds those officials accountable for the way they voted on the full spectrum of conservative issues, and works with those officials on the policy areas on which they can improve to advance freedom. Ratings of the States: Year in Review is the premier publication of the Center for Legislative Accountability. Unlike other publications, which compare states by analyzing current fiscal and social environments, Year in Review indicates the future likelihood of states enacting conservative solutions by providing a blueprint of the voting and political trends of each state.
