Manchester, NH – Cornerstone today announced the release of their legislative scorecard for the 2019-2020 legislative session. The scorecard provides detailed legislator voting information that Cornerstone incorporates in their assessment of representatives against the nonprofit’s core issues impacting life, liberty, and religious freedom in New Hampshire. This year, Cornerstone recognized 27 representatives with perfect attendance and a 100% voting record on Cornerstone issues as “Heroes of the Family.”
Shannon McGinley, Executive Director of Cornerstone noted:
“With the extended legislative hiatus due to COVID-19, this year was unlike any other. We were able to base our NH House representative scores on data from sixteen key votes. While we provided the voting information we had from five votes in the Senate, the limited data was insufficient to arrive at a well-rounded picture of any given senator’s stance on our issues,”
In spite of those limitations, Cornerstone’s 2020 Legislative Scorecard provides valuable information that captures each legislator’s specific voting record on key issues. Such information not only gives voters the opportunity to know how their legislator voted on their behalf, but can serve as a beneficial tool for engaging legislators on critical issues.
In addition to overall voting records, Cornerstone took the extra step of breaking out four key legislative areas (education, gender, health, and life) to help voters evaluate legislators based on the issues that matter most to them.
