Rep. Kristi Noem Scores 100 Percent on FRC Action’s New Scorecard

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Family Research Council (FRC) Action recently released its annual scorecard for the First Session of the 115th Congress. U.S. Rep. Kristi Noem (R-S.D.) is among a new record of 245 Members of Congress who scored a perfect 100 percent for votes cast last year. She was recently presented with FRC Action’s “True Blue” award for displaying unwavering commitment and consistent support of faith, family, and freedom.

Votes in the U.S. House and Senate included:
• No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion
• Disapproval of Obama’s HHS Title X Rule
• Obamacare Repeal and Replace
• Confirmation of Neil Gorsuch to the Supreme Court
• DOD Transgender Funding (Blocking Funding for Sex-Reassignment Surgeries)
• D.C. Budget Autonomy
• D.C. Reproductive Health Non-Discrimination Amendment
• Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act
• Independent Payment Advisory Board Repeal
• Confirmation of Amy Barrett to the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals
• Tax Cuts & Jobs Act

Family Research Council Action President Tony Perkins made the following comment:

“We thank Rep. Noem for consistently voting to defend and advance faith, family and freedom. As a ‘True Blue Member’ she voted 100 percent on FRC Action’s Scorecard including votes to repeal and replace Obamacare, deliver long-needed tax cuts that are already providing much needed relief to working families, stand for religious liberty, overturn President Obama’s transgender military policy, end the forced partnership between taxpayers and Planned Parenthood, and protect pain capable babies.

“Rep. Noem deserves praise for her unwavering commitment to stand for life, family, marriage, and religious liberty. South Dakotans should be encouraged to know that they have a Member of Congress such as Rep. Noem who has come alongside other members and our president to begin the work of rebuilding our nation, and protecting the very values that made America great,” concluded Perkins.

Rep. Kristi Noem added:

“Faith, family and freedom are the cornerstone of our country and the tenets by which I try to live. I am thrilled by the progress we’ve seen over the last year, whether that be the appointment of a pro-life Supreme Court Justice, states getting more flexibility to defund Planned Parenthood, or the passage of the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act through the U.S. House. More must be done, but I’m optimistic that with the help of organizations like Family Research Council we’ll continue to move in the right direction. I’m proud to be a partner in this fight and honored to be given the ‘True Blue’ award.”

  1. Easy votes on this scorecard. Too bad her scores from all the other conservative groups are so bad. She says she is a conservative, but her voting record proves otherwise. I’m still mad about all the votes she made to raise the debt ceiling.

  2. Cool. Now let’s check out Conservative Reviews “Liberty Scorecard”

    Kristi Noem – 43%
    Jeff Flake – 50%

    1. Months ago her score was about 43-44%, but the score I see right now on Conservative Review is 58%. Still not as strong as it could be, but it is an improvement.

  4. Isn’t it time to update the candidate races? Nothing happened at the Hughes County Lincoln Day Dinner.

    It looks like we have a bunch of coronations at the GOP convention.

    I’d heard Sattgast and Barnett were going to be challenged but that looks like rumors.

    1. I’m waiting to see who turns in petitions (or someone else jumps in the race) before I update again.

  5. These scorecards are generally a waste of time. All of them cherry pick the issues they think are the most important to their specific organization and then try to make everyone believe they are right. As an example, Family Research Council has Rep. Noem at 100%, Conservative Review has her at 43% one time and 58% another time. Today, The American Conservative Union, which is currently hosting CPAC, has her at 79% for this year and a lifetime score of 75.53%. (http://acuratings.conservative.org/ ) My recommendation is to go to a reliable site and do your own research. Compare her vote against how you personally would have voted on that specific piece of legislation, had you been in her position, trying to represent the values of South Dakotans. Then decide for yourself and quit letting scorecards, designed to get you to join their organization, think for you. Decide for yourself.

    The following site lists all of Kristi Noem’s votes on issues, to include her time in the SD Legislature. I am not vouching for the site, but it appears to be legit. I am sure there are others that also give a complete accurate listing. https://votesmart.org/candidate/key-votes/58189/kristi-noem/?p=&p=1

    Unfortunately, this will sound partisan, but I think it is fair to mention. Kristi Noem has an extensive voting record to review. Since Marty Jackley has never held an elected position which required him to openly and continuously vote his positions, he does not. Agree or disagree with her on her votes, you have to admit Kristi Noem has always owned her votes and her positions on issues.
