The Goldwater Institute releases its "Legislative Report Card" annually for all Arizona legislators. This report card tracks how legislators voted on key votes and assigns them a letter grade based on how closely their votes agree with the Institute's positions. The primary values emphasized in the ratings are whether votes expand or restrict liberty.[6]

This score was 13 higher than her score on the 2011 report card. Gonzales’s 38 in 2012 was tied for the 52nd highest grade among all 60 Arizona State Representatives.[6]
