Mothers Against Greg Abbott Scorecard - Sneak Peek

Analyzing the Texas legislative landscape: a sneak peek at the Moms Against Greg Abbott scorecard.

Mothers Against Greg Abbott, also known as Mothers4Democracy, has worked diligently on a scorecard over the last few months to show how your Democratic and Republican reps voted on issues like the border, LGBTQ rights, gun safety, and other hot-button topics. They’ve also included what money people are taking and from who.

In Texas, several Republican-led scorecards are issued each legislative session, usually awarding ‘A’ to the worst legislators, who vote to take away rights and oppress Texans. The Mothers Against Greg Abbott Scorecard will be the first comprehensive report card in Texas, scoring on whether or not the legislators voted in the people’s best interest.

It’s very exciting because it will show Texans how their reps were voting, if they were voting in their best interests, and give them a letter grade. This will help constituents hold their Democratic rep’s feet to the fire, pushing them to be better or opening the door to a primary challenger.

The Mothers Against Greg Abbott Scorecard is set to be released this week, so be on the lookout for it. In the meanwhile, they allowed me to have a special sneak peek.
