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
Dismissal of second-degree assault charge (2024)
Hornberger was charged with second-degree assault following an April 16, 2024 incident involving his son, Adam Hornberger.
“In recent months, I’ve been increasingly concerned about his (my son's) behavior and encouraged him to take proactive steps to better his life,” Del. Hornberger said in a statement following the incident. “My son and I engaged in a discussion about his future, and he became very agitated and ultimately became physically violent toward me. My mother, who observed the altercation, was understandably distraught as was I, and both of us were very concerned about my son’s behavior. I indicated I was contacting the police and when I did, he left the home quickly.” [4]
Del. Hornberger's son filed charges and sought a protective order following the incident. As prosecutors reviewed the second-degree assault charge against Del. Hornberger, a preliminary hearing was scheduled for June 2024. [5]
On June 3, 2024, the Cecil County District Court dismissed the second-degree assault charge against Del. Hornberger. [6]
