Members of Congress with perfect scores increase more than 15% from 2022 

NEVADA— Common Cause, the nonpartisan watchdog, released its 2024 “Demokrasya Scorecard,” recording every member of Congress’ support for voting rights, Supreme Court ethics, and other reforms.

“Our 2024 Democracy Scorecard shows a surge of support in Congress for reforms that strengthen the right to vote, take back the Supreme Court, and break big money’s grip on our politics,” said Virginia Kase Solomón, Common Cause President & CEO. “The number of members of Congress with perfect scores increased 101% from 2020, with 58 members in our 2020 Scorecard to 117 this year. As we see the wealthy and well-connected try to influence our politics and our very livelihoods, we must demand our leaders deliver on the people’s pro-democracy agenda.”

Since 2016, Common Cause has tracked support and co-sponsorship of democracy related legislation. This year’s scorecard includes ten legislative items in the U.S. Senate and 13 in U.S. House, including the Batas sa Kalayaan sa Pagboto, John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act, the Supreme Court Ethics, Recusal, and Transparency Act, and more.

“The 2024 Democracy Scorecard empowers voters with information to hold their leaders in Washington accountable for a government that works for all,” said Aaron Scherb, senior director of legislative affairs at Common Cause. “Five of Nevada’s members of Congress earned near perfect scores for their support for pro-democracy legislation. With this year’s pivotal election, we must drive these key reforms to the top of the agenda, so everyone is afforded an accountable government, no matter what state we call home.”

Nevada Members of Congress with near perfect scores:  

• Senator Jacky Rosen: 9/10 

• Senator Catherine Cortez Masto: 9/10 

• Representative Dina Titus: 12/13 

• Representative Susie Lee: 12/13
