California Candidate Scorecard – Primary Election – June 7, 2016

Grades are based on a comprehensive questionnaire which was sent to each (non-incumbent) candidate that was certified by the Secretary of State. Incumbents are graded exclusively on their voting records.  Incumbents or candidates coming from the other house, who have a voting record already, are noted with an *.

Blank grades indicate candidate did not respond.

• An A+ indicates authorship of pro-2nd Amendment legislation.
