FRC Action, the legislative arm of Family Research Council (FRC), recently released its 2023 Vote Scorecard and announced its One Hundred Percent Award winners.
The annual award recognizes the members of Congress who displayed unwavering commitment to and support of faith, family, and freedom. In total, 69 U.S. representatives and five U.S. senators scored a perfect 100 percent for their votes cast in 2023.
"FRC Action has been doing this for a long time," says former Congressman Jody Hice (R-Georgia), who now serves as president of FRC Action. "Representatives who run on being constitutional and biblical conservatives, we are trying to help provide transparency and accountability that they will do what they said they would do once they get elected. These scorecards are our way of trying to do that."
He tells AFN they were impressed that so many lawmakers made the perfect grade.
"That's a pretty significant number when you're talking about the type of things that we score," Hice submits. "It's a good turnout that we had 100% from 74 different individuals."
Those One Hundred Percent Award winners have stood strong in the face of determined and relentless attacks from the Left.
The senators voted to defend life in all sectors of federal government against efforts to remove the deadline for ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment, which would have cleared the way for forcing taxpayers to subsidize abortion on demand. These senators also helped curb the promotion of abortion and radical gender ideology in the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) and stood strong against President Biden’s most troubling judicial nominees.
The House members voted to protect infants born alive after surviving an attempted abortion and condemned attacks against pro-life pregnancy care centers, groups, and churches. They also voted to preserve parental rights and to restore Title IX’s purpose of creating an even playing field for female athletes by making it a violation of federal law for schools that receive federal funds to permit a biological male to participate in an athletic program or activity designated for women. These members also stood strong against NDAA amendments that promoted abortion and radical gender ideology in the U.S. military.
