CCAG Legislative Voting Indices

in

Since 1972, the Connecticut Citizen Action Group has published its Legislative Voting Index to educate the public and help our members learn where their legislators stand on issues important to families.

The CCAG Index rates legislators on a broad range of votes on environmental, consumer, health care, labor, civil rights and other issues. CCAG indexes votes on bills and amendments which were priorities for CCAG and our allies.

Below are links to some of our past Legislative Scorecards going back to 1989.
