Scorecards
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.

Scott Brewer has dedicated his life to serving the people of North Carolina. As a former Prosecutor and District Court Judge, Scott kept our communities safe. Now a small business owner, he's running for the NC House to restore the promise of North Carolina - the promises of good schools, good paying jobs, and a government we can trust.
- From day one, Scott Brewer has opposed the draconian cuts and privatization of public education. Scott believes that the best way to provide an opportunity to succeed to every child in North Carolina is to fully fund our schools, and respect our teachers.
