Nevada Policy Research Institute
The Nevada Policy Research Institute, a Nevada-based conservative-libertarian think tank, releases a "Legislative Report Card" evaluating members of the Nevada State Legislature on "each lawmaker's voting record on legislation impacting the degree of economic freedom and education reform." Bills determined by the Institute to be of greater significance are weighted accordingly. According to the Institute, "a legislator with a score above 50 is considered to be an ally of economic liberty".[5]

Settelmeyer received a score of 87.68% in the 2011 report card, ranking 5th out of all 63 Nevada State Legislature members.[5] Senators Don Gustavson (89.10), Greg Brower (88.63), Michael Roberson (88.63), and Elizabeth Halseth (88.15) received higher scores.[6]
