I made the decision ten long years ago that upon my retirement from the Prince George’s County Public Schools (PGCPS), I would transition from being a 27 year employee of the school system to an elected member of the Board of Education. As an elected member of the Board of Education, I will work tirelessly to ensure that every child in every classroom receives rigorous, engaging, high quality education experiences. [10] |

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.
