Legislative scorecard

The 2009 scores were based on votes on 19 bills, but did not include how legislators voted on the Proposition 1A (2009). On the scorecard, "100" is a perfect liberal score and "0" is a perfect conservative score. [1],[2]
On the 2009 Capitol Weekly legislative scorecard, Correa ranked as a 40. [3]
