American Energy Alliance 2022 House of Representatives Scorecard
This week the American Energy Alliance released its American Energy Scorecard for the House of Representatives. The AEA scorecard scores voting and co-sponsorship decisions on legislation affecting energy and environmental policy, educating voters on how their representatives vote and holding members accountable for those decisions. This year’s scorecard compiles 7 votes from the 117th Congress. 177 House members achieved a 100% score.
The American Energy Scorecard is guided by the following core principles:
- Promoting affordable, abundant, and reliable energy
- Expanding economic opportunity and prosperity, particularly for working families and those on fixed incomes
- Giving Americans, not Washington bureaucrats, the power to make their own energy choices
- Encouraging private sector innovation and entrepreneurship
- Advancing market-oriented energy and environment policies
- Reducing the role of government in energy markets
- Eliminating the subsidies, mandates, and special interest giveaways that lead to higher energy costs
All members are notified in advance that AEA plans to score an upcoming vote. The scored votes in the 117th Congress cover a range of energy and environmental policy issues.
While AEA applauds all the members who achieved 100%, we must also note those members whose voting record was especially harmful for their districts. Reps. Henry Cuellar (14% score) and Matt Cartwright (0% score) both represent major energy-producing districts. Yet their scores don’t reflect a member working for their local industry. Likewise, Reps. Jared Golden (29% score), Sharice Davids (0% score), Chris Pappas (11%), Susie Lee (14%), Elaine Luria (0%), Kim Schrier (0%), Elissa Slotkin (0%), Angie Craig (0%), Abigail Spanberger (0%), Jennifer Wexton (0%), Cynthia Axne (0%), Tom O’Halleran (0%), Tom Malinowski (0%), and Dina Titus (0%) represent areas where major employers rely on affordable, reliable energy. It is important for voters in these districts who appreciate affordable energy and free choices to know the poor records of their representatives.
