| Collapse all
- We saw the highest health insurance premium spikes in the country last year, and we can’t wait for a federal solution to our local problem. State leaders need to step up and expand public health insurance options so that every Virginian can afford quality care.
- We know racism is so much more than hateful slurs. It's the structural barriers that prevent people of color from securing the resources we all deserve. Confronting racism requires investing in our public schools, affordable housing, and a criminal justice overhaul.

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.
