ACU Lifetime Rankings for Legislators
As first reported by Maryland Matters, the American Conservative Union released their 2018 rankings for members of the Maryland General Assembly. These ratings are far too late to be useful for the 2018 Primary Election, but it is at least a status check on how Republican legislators rate according to a national conservative group.
The priorities are viewed through the prism of national more than Maryland politics.
The below chart shows only current members of the General Assembly who were also members of the General Assembly in 2018. Newly elected Delegates and Senators are not included in this chart. The ACU analysis did (for some reason) rank those who are no longer members of the General Assembly. You can review their scores on in the ACU’s document.
