The purpose of this scorecard is to inform our supporters and the general public of where their legislators stand on civil liberties issues. Legislators may promise many things before an election, but there is no substitute for an actual vote. The scorecard is in no way meant to be construed as an endorsement of legislators who score well or a statement of opposition against those who do not.

A note from public policy director Denise Maes
As we do after every legislative session, we prepared a legislative scorecard so you, our members, can see where each legislator stands on civil liberties issues.
But here was the problem this year: because best practices dictate that we score only those bills that were voted on by the entire legislature, the scorecard cannot possibly tell the whole story.

A note from public policy director Denise Maes
As we do after every legislative session, we prepared a legislative scorecard so you, our members and supporters, can see where each legislator stands on civil liberties issues.
This year, we picked six bills and they are each summarized below. The ACLU was of course involved in many other legislative initiatives, but these six represent a cross section of civil liberties issues we work on – mass incarceration, economic justice, solitary confinement and immigrant rights – and those we played a significant role in as they made their way to the Governor’s desk.
