Noteworthy events

Parole board appointment

Fowler was appointed to the state parole board by Gov. Jay Nixon (D) on December 13, 2013, causing him to resign his seat in the state house. While Fowler had taken his new position on January 10, the appointment was still subject to the confirmation of the Gubernatorial Appointments Committee of the Missouri State Senate. Republicans in the Senate vowed to block Fowler because of his vote against a decrease in the state income tax. Committee member Brad Lager (R) commented that the appointment appeared to be a "political payoff."[4][5] The committee responsible for confirmations allowed the February 6 deadline to pass without action, defeating Fowler's appointment. He was then forced to retire from the parole board.[6]

Scorecards

See also: State legislative scorecards and State legislative scorecards in Missouri

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.
