John, our members of Congress faced a series of choices about our democracy this term, like:
The good news is, more members of Congress met the moment than ever before – more senators and representatives earned perfect scores on our 2024 Democracy Scorecard than in any previous Scorecard we’ve done!
See how your Members did by checking out our 2024 Democracy Scorecard today >>
Our scorecard closely tracks the positions of every member of Congress on issues vital to the health of our democracy – including voting rights, judicial ethics, and getting big, secret money out of politics – during the last two years.
Despite unprecedented support for these popular, pro-voter reforms, partisan gridlock has kept them from becoming law. This Congress has been one of the most dysfunctional and least productive in history – and it’s no surprise that 3 out of every 4 Americans currently disapprove of Congress. [1]
Our democracy is facing unprecedented attacks right now. The Freedom to Vote Act and John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act, which both came within two votes of becoming law in January 2022, and other pro-democracy reforms included in this Scorecard are desperately needed.
That’s why we’re sending you and every other Common Cause supporter this Scorecard – as a resource for all constituents to evaluate which members of Congress are working to strengthen our freedom to vote and which ones are trying to make it harder for Americans to vote.
John, make sure you know how your elected officials represented you by visiting democracyscorecard.org today >>
I hope you’ll check the Scorecard out – and forward it to at least 3 of your friends or family to help spread the word!
Thanks for all you do,
Aaron Scherb, Senior Director of Legislative Affairs
and the team at Common Cause
