SUPPORTING FOR SENATE
CANDIDATES WORTH WORKING FOR
Candidates worth working for are candidates who have earned our highest score — five stars — in the percentage of crucial lifetime votes in which the candidate sided with progressives. “Crucial” votes are votes in which there was strong progressive cohesion and at the same time a significant defection on the part of more conservative Democrats to the Republicans. The Crucial Votes % categories also include all roll call votes where the margin between yes votes and no votes was narrow and could have been changed by a small group of Democrats voting differently.
