Club for Growth rates WI freshmen reps on Tea Party loyalty

Wisconsin's two GOP freshman representatives supported tea party interests through most of their votes, according to a scorecard released today by Club for Growth, though Rep. Reid Ribble scored significantly higher than Rep. Sean Duffy.

The ratings were based on Club for Growth positions on a range of budgetary issues and whether or not the freshman representative followed suit.

Freshman Rep. Reid Ribble supported "economic freedom" 90 percent of the time, while Rep. Sean Duffy voted with them only 58 percent of the time, according to the score cards. Both representatives got marks off for votes to approve the appropriations bill and increase the debt limit. Duffy's score was lower because he did not vote to strike funding from the National Labor Relations Board, didn't vote to cut funding for the Department of the Interior and Agriculture and and didn't vote to roll back most funding levels to 2006.
