CPAC Releases State Lawmaker Scorecard

Utah Rises in Conservative Rankings

ALEXANDRIA, VA (May 16, 2022)— Utah state lawmakers are voting more conservative according to a new analysis conducted by the Center for Legislative Accountability (CLA), a project of CPAC Foundation and the American Conservative Union Foundation.

 The Utah state legislature earned a conservative rating of 64% in 2021, a significant increase over the 2020 rating (52.5%) and the national average (49%). The conservative rating is calculated through CLA’s scorecards and is based on lawmaker voting across 186 policy areas ranging from cultural and life issues to tax, fiscal and regulatory policies.

The ratings have also been incorporated into CPAC’s new Lawmaker Comparison Tool which runs head-to-head comparisons on lawmaker’s strongest and weakest policy areas.

The CLA is the first and only organization to annually publish individual ratings for all 8,000 federal and state lawmakers in America. The CLA is also home to the nation’s most comprehensive conservative policy database containing over 17,500 detailed bill analyses which span 50 years of Congress and all 50 state legislatures.
