Major Conservative Group Ranks Tom Graves’ Record #1 In Georgia Delegation
Heritage Action’s Rating Of Graves In 112th Congress Also Ties Him For #1 In U.S. House

Washington, Jan 28 -

Washington, D.C. - Today, in a new scorecard released by Heritage Action, grassroots organization of top conservative think tank Heritage Foundation, U.S. Rep. Tom Graves (R-GA-14) was ranked first in the Georgia Congressional delegation for his record in the 112^th Congress. Rep. Graves’ score of 97% also tied him for first in the U.S. House of Representatives.

By scoring above 90%, Rep. Graves was one of just 23 House members to earn Sentinel status with Heritage.

In Heritage Action’s press release, CEO Michael Needham said, “We congratulate these Sentinels who stood guard, vigilantly protecting our freedoms during the 112th Congress.  Not only did they advance the conservative cause, but they also held back the incessant tide of tax increases, out-of-control spending, and harmful policies that breed dependency on government.  In Washington, this is no easy task, which makes these Members all the more commendable.”

The press release goes on to describe the scorecard as revealing “which lawmakers talk like a conservative and which ones act like a conservative.”
