Our Scorecard is only looking at local candidates that other tools don't evaluate. If you are looking for tools that evaluate higher office candidates, we've provided a selection below with some of the more popular tools.
Center for Arizona Policy
The Center for Arizona Policy (CAP) is a nonprofit conservative lobbying group based in Arizona. The organization advocates for the passage of socially conservative policies in the state. CAP produces the AZ Voter Guide to encourage its supporters to elect conservative lawmakers. Over 100 bills supported by CAP have been signed into law in Arizona.
Turing Point Action uses a complex rating system for their evaluation tool called, Scorecard. They look at each vote individually, identifying the category it belongs in and works amongst the grassroots to identify the conservative position. If the representative votes with Turning Point Action’s position for each bill or nomination, they receive full points. If the representative votes against TPA’s position, they receive nothing. Not voting, present, and abstaining from voting gives the representative only half credit, thereby diminishing their score for neglecting their responsibility.

Heritage Action
Heritage Action was founded in 2010 and is armed with the research and policies of The Heritage Foundation. Their mission is to fight for conservative policies in Washington, D.C. and in state capitals across the country. They publish a candidate evaluation tool called Scorecard 119 that measures votes and co-sponsorships to show how conservative Members of Congress are.
