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."[5]

2012

Howes received a score of 43% in the 2012 scorecard, ranking 69th out of all 134 Minnesota House of Representatives members.[6]

2011

Howes received a score of 77% in the 2011 scorecard, ranking 47th out of all 134 Minnesota House of Representatives members. [7]
