Scorecards
A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.
Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.

Noteworthy events
Sexual harassment allegations (2018)
On May 2, 2018, Laura Bonar, who said she was an animal advocate working for Animal Protection Voters, posted a letter on Brava New Mexico, a website that describes itself as a platform for Democratic women, requesting Trujillo's resignation due to sexual harassment in 2013 and 2014. Bonar accused Trujillo of propositioning and inappropriately touching her and said Trujillo "shut [her] out of the legislative process" when she refused his advances.[11][12]
Trujillo denied the allegations, saying Bonar was lying and refusing to step down. House Democratic leadership said they would follow newly adopted sexual harassment policies, including meeting with outside counsel to determine how to proceed. In a statement, they said, "Sexual harassment has no place in the Legislature or in our society and will not be tolerated."[13]
