BRIEFING MEMO
Please let me know if you have any questions or suggestions. Kristie Moore
(Kristie@DustyJohnson.com) leads our political efforts and can be a great resource, as well.
Conservative Voice
Scorecards never tell the whole story, but one well-respected measure of conservatism in
Congress is compiled by Heritage Action (the political arm of the Heritage Foundation). On
that scorecard, I have 98% conservative rating. I’ve also cast conservative votes, without
exception, on bills and amendments scored by National Right to Life and the NRA. I’m also
rated among the 20% most conservative members of the House or Senate by scorecards
compiled by Conservative Review, FreedomWorks, and other conservative organizations.
Our efforts have already secured more than $5 billion for the wall and $4.5 billion to address
other issues at our southern border. The President has asked for $8 billion more starting
October 1, and I support him.
Those votes were consistent with my support of the President’s agenda throughout my
tenure in Congress. Here are just a few of the major votes I’ve cast, working with the White
House to advance American interests:
Like the President, I speak my mind and I’m not a rubber stamp for anyone. No two people
agree on everything, and I do think the President is more effective when he is talking about
his strengths and the strengths of this nation, rather than talking about other people. But I
have an excellent working relationship with the White House, and my voting record clearly
proves that I have been a conservative voice, a defender of the Constitution, and a reliable
supporter of the President’s agenda.
