Americans For Prosperity – South Dakota Releases Legislative Scorecards

@SoDakCampaigns

SIOUX FALLS, SD – Americans For Prosperity – South Dakota (AFP-SD) recently released its legislative scorecard, a way to track the votes of legislators on key issues for South Dakotans.

This year, the key votes centered on AFP-SD’s major priorities: improving accessibility to quality health care in South Dakota, improving our education system, and creating more economic opportunity for all South Dakotans. This was a remarkably successful year that saw the passage of several bills that make tangible improvements to the lives of South Dakotans.

AFP Regional Director Don Haggar discussed the legislative session and the successes achieved this year in South Dakota. That discussion can be found HERE.

AFP Regional Director Don Haggar released the following statement on this year’s scorecard and the legislative session:

“This year’s scorecard is reflective of the incredible efforts of activists and legislative leaders across South Dakota. We made great strides to secure meaningful reforms for South Dakota families, and we would like to thank the activists, legislators, and leaders who made it possible to create these positive changes during this legislative session.”

    1. Actually, Republican philosophy is somewhat libertarian (small l): low taxes, limited government spending, low regulation, choice in education, free speech.

  2. Those charts are very hard to read. Should rank them or something so you don’t have to scan through everyone

  3. A week after being called “Big Government Headline Chasers” Representatives Jon Hansen and Scott Odenbach both get perfect scores! Way to be conservatives!

    1. Yes it’s very interesting to compare the rhetoric of certain legislators and their actual votes. A lot of people who claim to be small government certainly don’t vote that way.

  4. Yawn. These scorecards mean little or maybe nothing to most people. Of course, all of these groups have their own followers and this just serves to confirm to their members who they already like. Not picking on AFP — but they’re all this way. Ultimately they mean nothing to the average voter and have very little or maybe no influence on moving legislative elections.

    1. I disagree. It’s helpful to see how legislators actually voted in a session. The AFP’s scorecard is a simple way to see the difference between someone who wants to be called a conservative and someone who is one.
