"The Mass Scorecard is a project of the Progressive Democrats of Somerville and CPPAX (Citizens for Participation in Political Action), with the technology provided by OnTheIssues.org. This coalition of progressive organizations prepared the Issues Convention resolution and undertook the work to get it passed. Our mission is to provide information to the voting public about how legislative voting records relate to the Massachusetts Democratic Party. Our purpose is to expose voting records to the public, and to show the degree to which each legislator adheres to the party platform. The following ratings are based on the agreement of each official's voting record with the Democratic Party Platform. (Accord with the Democratic Party Platform is determined by representatives of Mass Scorecard and has no approval by nor association with the Massachusetts Democratic Party.)
