Scorecards

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

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

Censure by the Oklahoma House of Representatives (2023)

On March 7, 2023, Turner was censured by the Oklahoma House of Representatives for impeding a law enforcement investigation into a demonstrator who assaulted a lawmaker and state trooper during a protest at the state capitol.[2] The censure was approved by a party-line vote, and removed Turner from all committee assignments unless she issues a formal apology.[3]

In a press release, House Speaker Charles McCall (R) said, "The inappropriate, and potentially criminal, actions exhibited by this member of the House were deserving of censure, and the actions taken by the House today were both measured and just."[2] In her defense, Turner said, “What happened last week in my office was the same thing that happens all the time. People do not feel represented or protected by the people in this body.”

The protest took place in response to the passage of House Bill 2177. The bill restricts certain medical treatments for minors, prohibits insurance coverage for such treatments, and establishes disciplinary proceedings for entities, individuals, and organizations taking part in such treatments.[4][5]

During the protest, a demonstrator was accused of pouring water on a state representative and hitting a state trooper. When law enforcement went to question the activist, they were inside of Turner’s office, and law enforcement was not allowed inside. Eventually, law enforcement was able to question the demonstrator and arrest them for assault and battery on a police officer.[3]
