Each year, the Alliance puts together a scorecard grading Washington state legislators on their commitment to gun violence prevention. Legislative leadership is more than just taking votes, so the scores measure each legislator’s commitment to gun responsibility as demonstrated by their votes, sponsorships, and advocacy.
Legislators who went the extra mile, from meeting with constituents to speaking in the press earned a gun responsibility champion badge.
HOW WE GRADE
LEGISLATIVE LEADERSHIP is more than just taking votes, that is why we’re including evaluations on priority gun responsibility legislation, bill sponsorship, and legislative and community advocacy.
VOTES AND SPONSORSHIP
Grades reflect a record of bills voted for or sponsored, which increase community safety and responsibility, and against bills that move our state in the wrong direction.
COMMUNITY ADVOCACY
Grades reflect how deeply legislators engaged with constituents, community groups, and Alliance for Gun Responsibility partners to work towards greater gun responsibility.
LEGISLATIVE ADVOCACY
Grades reflect the degree to which legislators advocated for gun responsibility in committee, amongst colleagues, on the floor, and in Caucus.
BILLS EVALUATED
Each year our team evaluated legislators support for critical gun safety bills proposed by the Alliance.
