What is the Scorecard?

Each year, Secular AZ compiles a list of the most important state bills impacting church/state separation and scores Legislators on how they voted on them.

Many of these Legislators are facing challenges in both the August 2nd primary and general elections. In 2022, many crossed party lines on secular issues. Before voting, it will be important to note who and on what bills.

How it Works

We scored Legislators on 27 bills, each of which we opposed. Topics included reproductive rights; education; LGBTQ+ rights; the arming of religious radicals; and religious privileges.

Legislators were given a percent score based on each vote that aligns with our position, not including absences and no-votes.
