Scorecards
Taxpayers League of Minnesota
The Taxpayers League of Minnesota, a Minnesota-based taxpayer advocacy organization, releases a legislative scorecard for the Minnesota House of Representatives and Minnesota State Senate once a year. The scorecard gives each legislator a score based on how they voted in the prior legislative term on tax issues and “their efforts to balance the state budget without a tax increase.” The organization also compiles a legislator’s individual "Lifetime Score."[2]
2012
DeKruif received a score of 71 percent in the 2012 scorecard, ranking 17th out of all 67 Minnesota State Senate members.[3]
2011
DeKruif received a score of 85 percent in the 2011 scorecard, ranking 8th out of all 67 Minnesota State Senate members.[4]
