Amherst Lawmakers Get High Marks

Lawmakers from Windham, Salem and across the state were graded by Americans for Prosperity – New Hampshire as part of the organization's second annual Legislative Score Card release.

The direction of the grades are based on what AFP-NH deems "pro-prosperity positions."

To receive a top grade from the advocacy group, a member of the House or Senate had to be present for all votes and have voted in support of the foundation positions.

“We are proud to release our second annual legislative score card that details how legislators voted on key issues impacting economic freedom in the state,” said AFP-NH State Director Corey Lewandowski. “We hope that N.H. voters will find this score card to be a valuable tool and educational resource as they assess their State Senator and State Representatives.”

The lowest possible grade of an 'F' comes with the title of "Opponent of Prosperity.
