In case you missed it, the Club for Growth released its annual Congressional Scorecard for both U.S. House and U.S. Senate members on pro-growth votes. The methodology Club For Growth used to score each member is found here.
Delaware's federal delegation did not fare all that well. In fact, they flunked.
Senior U.S. Senator Tom Carper (D-DE) voted 14% of time in favor of pro-growth economic policies during 2011. Throughout his entire tenure, he voted 10% of the time as pro-growth. Junior Senator Chris Coons (D-DE) supported pro-growth policies 12% of the time and lone Congressman John Carney (D-DE) supported pro-growth policies only 8% of the time.
If anyone in Delaware is unemployed, they need to look no further than the Carper, Coons and Carney. For Democrats, they sure are not looking out for their constituents.
BlueHenConservative will evaluate the scorecard in further detail for specific votes and provide further analysis in a future post. It is important to note that Sen. Tom Carper and Rep. John Carney are up for re-election in November 2012. Clearly, given the meager results for improving the economy, neither can be re-elected. Remember, elections matter, and there are consequences.
