Why We Have A Scorecard
As an organization whose mission is to advocate for business and economic development, the Chamber has a keen interest in knowing what is happening in government. But it goes deeper. The Chamber is made up of citizens who live and work in the area. This is home; our members and the business community want to know how their elected officials voted and where they stand on issues that affect us all. We publish our scorecard as a public service, and we are privileged and proud to play a role in the democratic process. Our scorecard objectively and openly shows how public officials voted so the community can understand their positions and make informed voting choices.

Our Scorecard
The Chamber takes positions on policy issues and then scores elected officials based on their voting record. The Chamber identifies issues based on a board approved advocacy agenda. Voting records are then tracked. After the votes have been cast, the chamber publicizes how the officials voted. Scorecard rankings are also considered when making candidate endorsements.
