About the Progressive Maryland Education Fund 2006 Legislative Scorecard
The Progressive Maryland Education Fund (PMEF) is a non-profit, non-partisan organization that monitors and reports on the voting records of state lawmakers and public policy issues.  This scorecard is one of many tools used by PMEF to protect the rights of working families.  The 2006 scorecard features voting records on key issues. The three highest-priority votes, indicated at the top of the scorecard, are double-weighted, while the other six votes are single-weighted.  The leadership score accounts for 20 points of the lawmaker's final score and scores a lawmaker on the bulk of the General Assembly's work that happens behind the scenes and is crucial to the legislative process: whether a lawmaker works with progressive advocates to advance working-family legislation, lobbies colleagues in favor of these bills, speaks publicly in favor of them, etc.
