League of Conservation Voters green legislator rankings

| | Comments (2) |

The organization based its rankings on how legislators voted on over 20 pieces of legislation, some of which passed and some of which did not. Locally, Ron Calderon ranked worst among the Democrats, and actually ranked as one of the worst Democrats statewide.

Nevertheless, he ranked much better than any local Republicans, with Sen. Bob Margett siding with environmentalists a mere 17 percent of the time. The full local rankings:

Democrats

Ron Calderon- 67 percent
Gloria Romero- 94 percent
Jack Scott- 100 percent
Charles Calderon- 82 percent
Mike Eng- 100 percent
Ed Hernandez- 95 percent
Anthony Portantin- 95 percent

Republicans

Bob Margett- 17 percent
Anthony Adams- 5 percent
Bob Huff- 10 percent

So in short, big surprise, Democrats are pro-environment, Republicans not so much. Consider yourself an educated voter.

You can see the rest of the report card here. Here are the issues that the organization based its rankings on.
