Texas Values Action Releases 2015 Faith and Family Scorecard

September 22, 2015

TVA Scorecard Slider (final 620w)
Texas Values Action is excited to release its first ever legislative scorecard based on the recently completed 84th Texas Legislative Session. The 2015 Faith and Family Scorecard measures how state legislators performed on issues impacting faith and family values. Texas Values Action uses important legislative activity, including votes and bill authorship/coauthorship/sponsorship, on issues impacting religious freedom, marriage & family, and life.

The Faith and Family Scorecard is a critical education and accountability tool for Texas voters to see where legislators stood on the values that matter to Texans. The 84th Legislation Session saw progress made on defending religious freedom and life but also saw missed opportunities to more robustly protect Texans’ freedoms and liberties (view our full recap here). It is an important time for Texans to hold elected officials accountable for their record and work to ensure that the values of faith, family, and freedom are more strongly upheld in the future.

Legislators that scored 90% (A) and above are recognized as Faith and Family Champions. In addition, honorable mention designation is given to select legislators for special leadership on a core issue.
