Granite State Taxpayers has reviewed voting records and surveyed candidates to report on whether they support issues and programs beneficial to taxpayers.
2020 House Scorecard
GST reviewed thirty roll-call votes taken by NH House Members during the 2019-2020 session. Included were votes on taxes, spending, business regulation, voting integrity, electric rates and other issues of interest to taxpayers.
The 233 Democrats had an average score of 19%, while the 162 Republicans had an average score of 88%. Democrats just beat Republicans in attendance: 87% to 84%.
“2020 House Scorecard” at the GST website has information on the votes considered, individual scores for House members, and a list of 17 representatives who had perfect attendance and perfect GST scores.
2020 Candidate Survey
GST surveyed Primary Candidates for Governor, Council, NH House and NH Senate.
219 candidates completed the survey, and 97 of them achieved a score of 100%.
205 Republican responses averaged 94%. 11 Democrat responses averaged 62%.
“2020 Candidate Survey” at the GST website has information on the questions that candidates were asked, scores for each candidate, and a downloadable spreadsheet with candidate answers and their comments on each question.
“Voting records and candidate positions on taxpayer issues impact our choices when voting,” said GST Chairman Ray Chadwick. “GST makes that information available so voters can make an informed choice and vote for candidates who care about Taxpayers.”
