Your Representatives

Courage Score is a tool that helps Californians hold their elected representatives in the State Assembly and Senate accountable. We do this by increasing transparency on how they vote on important bills and by helping constituents better understand the degree to which big money infects our political process. 

Here’s how it works: 

Our partners share the most important bills

We reach out to over 100 progressive advocacy groups throughout California, surveying them on their priority bills from the previous legislative session.

We research the votes that showed the most courage

We review how every legislator voted on those bills, narrowing-in on close votes that squeaked passed committees and house floors, requiring courage of our legislators.

We calculate the Courage Score

We evaluate how well each legislator represents their district by comparing their votes to how progressive their district is.

We show the connections between corporate donations and legislators

Learn about some major industries whose big dollar contributions have a detrimental effect on our democratic system.
