Accountability Scorecard / Profile
On the record
Republicans
Counts each graded PolicyBomb once where this person or group authored, signed, voted yes on or funded the graded policy (full scorecard rows only).
Before you vote
Republicans: 4 PolicyBombs on record
No full scorecard rows yet. Their documented positions are listed below, each with its source and that PolicyBomb's grade. They are not counted in a tally until the full row (author, votes, signer, funders) is sourced.
Grades rest on measured outcomes in each PolicyBomb, not on motives. Every line links to its receipt.
Positions on record
As recorded in each PolicyBomb's "who supports / who opposes" research. Not counted in the tally.
Policy #53: US Healthcare Mixed
Against: H.R. 1 (2025) added Medicaid work requirements and cuts; no Democrat voted yes. Congress.gov: H.R. 1 One Big Beautiful Bill Act (119th) (congress.gov)
Listed in the research as: Republicans; President Trump
Verdict: The US system is bad value: world-leading spending, middling results, and a price problem that both parties avoid because providers fight back. The ACA was a net good on coverage and mortality.
Policy #59: Federal Deficit Spending Harmful
For: H.R. 1 (2025); CBO estimate ~$3.4T added to deficits over 2025-2034. CBO: Estimated budgetary effects of H.R. 1 (2025) (cbo.gov)
Listed in the research as: Republicans; President Trump
Verdict: Bad. Deficits during emergencies like 2020 can be justified, though the 2021 ARP was oversized for a recovering economy.
Policy #63: Illegal Immigration Harmful
For: Laken Riley Act (S. 5) signed Jan 29, 2025; Senate 64-35, House 263-156. Congress.gov: S. 5 Laken Riley Act (congress.gov)
Listed in the research as: Sen. Katie Britt (R-AL) + Republicans; 12 Senate & 46 House Democrats
For: H.R. 1 (2025) funds ~$170B for border/ICE enforcement. Congress.gov: H.R. 1 One Big Beautiful Bill Act (119th) (congress.gov)
Listed in the research as: Republicans; President Trump
Verdict: Large-scale illegal immigration is bad for society. It rewards smugglers, exploits migrants (children most of all), overwhelms cities and courts, and erodes support for legal immigration, which has clear economic value.
Policy #65: Child Labor in EV Batteries Mixed
Against: H.R. 1 (2025) ended EV purchase credits after Sept 30, 2025. Congress.gov: H.R. 1 One Big Beautiful Bill Act (119th) (congress.gov)
Listed in the research as: Republicans; President Trump
Verdict: Child and forced labor in battery supply chains is a real moral failure, and US policy treated it inconsistently. It was strict where China was the target, close to silent on DRC artisanal mining, and it subsidized EVs without requiring traceable minerals.
