Scorecards

See also: State legislative scorecards and State legislative scorecards in Tennessee

A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.

Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.

Click here for an overview of legislative scorecards in all 50 states. To contribute to the list of Tennessee scorecards, email suggestions to editor@ballotpedia.org.

Noteworthy events

Domestic assault charges

Hawk was arrested on March 18, 2012, on a domestic assault charge. According to the police report, Hawk hit his wife in the face while she was holding their 11-month-old daughter. Hawk, who was released on bond, said he was innocent of the charge, alleging that during the incident that "my wife had a gun and told me she was gonna put a bullet in my head while I was holding my baby. At that time, I escaped to safety with my daughter."[16]

Hawk separated from his wife, Crystal Goan, and charges against Hawk were dismissed by a judge, who said that the prosecution had not made a convincing case that Goan suffered serious injury.[17]
