A record number of California Democratic lawmakers were dinged on the 2020 legislative scorecard released by a statewide LGBTQ advocacy organization. Thirty-three Democrats in the state Legislature failed to receive perfect scores last year due to not casting yes votes for LGBTQ bills.
It is the highest number of Democratic legislators falling below a 100% score since 2006. That year, 22 Democrats in the statehouse earned less than perfect scores due to not voting in support of LGBTQ legislation.
Equality California posted its 2020 scorecard to its website Friday, January 15, prior to the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday. EQCA also tweeted out a link to the scorecard that day along with a number of tweets praising various lawmakers who earned perfect scores, among them Assemblyman Chad Meyes (I-Yucca Valley), who left the Republican Party a year ago this month.
