2024 Legislative Scorecard released
Voces Unidas Action Fund released its 2024 Legislative Scorecard, tracking the votes of all state lawmakers against our legislative priorities during the 2024 legislative session, with a special focus on the five local state lawmakers representing Garfield, Eagle, Pitkin, Lake and Summit counties.
Voces Unidas actively lobbies for or against legislative proposals based on how they impact the central-mountain Latino community. Our positions on legislation are informed by community leaders from across the region and polling research of Latino voters.
This year's legislative scorecard examined lawmakers’ votes on 37 bills across seven policy areas — Immigrant Rights, Environmental/Climate Justice, Health/Reproductive Justice, Housing/Economic Justice, Gun Safety/Criminal Justice Reform, Civil Rights/Democracy and Education Justice.
Fifty-one lawmakers out of 100 scored 90% or higher, with 31 of them receiving an A+ grade in our 2024 Legislative Scorecard. On the opposite side of the grading scale, 31 lawmakers received the lowest possible grade of F-.
