This composite reflects aggregation across available major scorecards (Heritage Action, Club for Growth, ACU, LCV, AFL-CIO/CWA labor, pro-life/reproductive, and others from Vote Smart aggregations):
Conservative/fiscal scorecards (Heritage Action lifetime 75%, 117th Congress 87%, 118th 62%; Club for Growth lifetime 71%, with yearly swings from 89-90% in 2021-2022 to 48-62% in 2023-2024; ACU 68% in 2023) indicating inconsistent alignment with limited-government, spending restraint, and free-market priorities. She scores highly on anti-omnibus, energy deregulation, and regulatory relief votes but lower on CRs, debt ceiling deals, and select appropriations.
Environmental scorecard (LCV lifetime 5%, 2024 3%) is near-zero, reflecting opposition to climate regulations and conservation measures typical of Gulf South Republicans.
Labor/progressive scorecards (CWA lifetime ~7%/recent 0%; implied low AFL-CIO and ADA scores) are minimal, while pro-life groups rate her highly for votes against abortion-related amendments.
She is a measurably weak mainstream Republican in a safe district but is categorically worse on pure libertarian or environmental metrics, with notable deviations in recent spending votes.
