Power the Future’s legislative scorecard allows constituents to easily access their legislator’s voting record to see where they stand on key energy policies.

How We Score Legislators

In our PTF Energy Policy Scorecard, Votes are assigned a score of 5 or -5 based on whether the bill helps or harms America’s energy workers. For example, a vote for the Protecting American Energy Production Act (HR26) would result in a +5 score, while voting against would result in a -5 score. The final score of each legislator is a cumulative scoring of their voting record, matched against the maximum score available in that chamber.

In order to differentiate the most effective champions and dedicated adversaries of American energy dominance, we also added point bonuses for sponsoring and cosponsoring legislation, with legislation’s primary sponsor gaining +5 or -5, and cosponsors gaining +3 or -3 additional points depending on the bill.
