FloridaReportCard.com not only shows each lawmaker’s grades, but upon clicking each lawmaker’s photo, it also lists the slate of bills that Florida Watch and Progress Florida prioritized as important (“Good for Floridians” or “Bad for Floridians”) and the lawmaker’s vote on each of those bills using three simple criteria:

• Vote did not count for or against putting people first.
• Voted to put people first.
• Voted against putting people first.

The organizations highlight some of the most polarizing legislation, labeled to match their interpretation of the bills (i.e. “Don’t Say Gay”, “Fleecing Renters”, “Gerrymandered Congressional Representation”, etc.) and, along the right side of a lawmaker’s page, lists the key bills important to them overall, with an option to visit report cards from previous years.

Among the Orange County delegation, State Reps. Carlos G. Smith and Anna Eskamani tied for the top spot with 100 percent scores. Four state lawmakers occupied second place at 97 percent, including Reps. Daisy Morales, Travaris McCurdy, Geraldine Thompson, and Joy Goff-Marcil.
