ALEXANDRIA, VA (March 7, 2024) — CPAC Foundation’s analysis reveals Wisconsin’s Republican and Democrat legislators both tend to vote in lockstep with their fellow party members on the vast majority of the bills voted on during the past session. Additionally, most of the deviations from this score occurred merely as a result of some legislators being absent for particular votes.

“Wisconsin’s socialist Governor Tony Evers thwarted the strong efforts of Wisconsin’s GOP-controlled legislature last session.” said CPAC Chairman Matt Schlapp. “Gov. Evers vetoed restrictions on ballot harvesting, important welfare reform, and even a bill which protected minors from radical gender surgeries.”

CPAC recognizes several Wisconsin state legislators for their conservative voting records. Members that earned an Award for Conservative Excellence for voting with the conservative position 90% or more of the time can be found highlighted in gold on the scorecard. Members that earned an Award for Conservative Achievement for voting with the conservative position 80% or more of the time can be found highlighted in silver on the scorecard.

The bills featured in CPAC’s 2023 Ratings of Wisconsin address election security, school choice, and the ‘green’ energy agenda. These issues, coupled with our mission to protect life, liberty, property and uphold the American family, created the basis by which the CPAC Foundation rated the Wisconsin legislature.

The Center for Legislative Accountability (CLA), an initiative of the CPAC Foundation, is the premier organization for holding lawmakers accountable. The CLA produces the longest-running conservative congressional scorecard and our state program is the only one in the nation that scores all 8,000 lawmakers in the 50 states across every policy area.
