(Austin TX) Since 1975 the Young Conservatives of Texas have provided reviews of the voting records of legislators to the citizens of Texas as a public service. YCT is proud to release the 17th installment of our Legislative Ratings the longest running and most prestigious legislative ratings in Texas. In the 80th Legislature State Representatives cast more than 2000 votes and the Senate passed more than 1100 pieces of legislation. YCT’s Legislative Ratings helps citizens truly understand the voting habits of their representatives by accurately portraying the conservativeness of state legislators.
“We’re excited to release these ratings as a public service once again” says Laura Elizabeth Morales Director of Public Relations.

“YCT would also like to specifically note three legislators who are Certified Republicans in Name Only or RINOs. This title is given to these legislators because they vote very liberally as Republicans; they are Representative Delwin Jones Charlie Geren and Tommy Merritt” says Morales. “This is the first time the Certified RINO category has been listed in the ratings.”
