Freedom Principle MO Unveils 2025 Legislative Scorecard: Empowering Voters with Transparency
In a move to boost accountability and spark greater citizen involvement, Freedom Principle MO announces the release of our 2025 Legislative Scorecard. This comprehensive report card assesses Missouri legislators' actions in accordance with the priorities voted on and approved by our dedicated members.
As a statewide, membership-driven organization, Freedom Principle MO is committed to shedding light on the legislative process. Our scorecard is designed to foster transparency, encourage dialogue, and inspire everyday Missourians to get more engaged in shaping our state's future.
How the Scorecard Works
The scorecard evaluates legislators on their alignment with our member-endorsed priorities, which cover a wide range of critical issues facing Missouri. These priorities were developed and voted on by our members during our Annual Legislative Summit. Here's a breakdown of our key legislative priorities we focused on this year:
Identifying opportunities to repeal, replace, or restrict the impact of Amendment 3
Initiative Petition Reform
Crime and Public Safety
Taxation and Budget
Election Integrity
Economic Development
Judicial Reform
Education Reform
Pro-Family
Medical Freedom/Healthcare
Energy/Environment/Agriculture
Second Amendment
Gender Issues
Illegal Immigration
Celebrating Champions and Encouraging Conversation
We extend our thanks to all the legislators who stood strong and voted in support of these priorities. Their commitment helps advance the principles of freedom, limited government, and individual rights that define our organization.
That said, we recognize that voting records aren't always black and white. Some lawmakers may have diverged from our positions on specific bills for various strategic, procedural, or other reasons. This doesn't automatically signal opposition to our goals. Instead, it presents an opportunity for meaningful discussion.
Your Role in the Process
Freedom Principle MO urges voters to use this scorecard as a starting point for engagement. Reach out to your representatives, ask thoughtful questions about their votes, and share your perspectives. Why did they support or oppose a particular bill? What can we do together to push for positive change?
By getting involved, you're not just observing the legislative process—you're actively participating in it. Download the full scorecard today from our website and join the conversation. Together, we can hold our leaders accountable and build a stronger Missouri.

Budget Hawk Seal of Approval
As part of the 2025 Legislative Scorecard, Freedom Principle MO is proud to introduce a new distinction: The Budget Hawk Seal of Approval. While our overall scorecard ranks legislators according to how consistently they supported the Freedom Principle MO platform, we recognize that budget issues are more complex. With countless amendments, negotiations, and procedural votes, a purely numerical ranking system does not always capture whether a legislator demonstrated true fiscal responsibility.
The Budget Hawk designation was created to honor those who consistently championed responsible spending, opposed unnecessary government growth, and prioritized taxpayer protection throughout the 2025 legislative session. Rather than relying on a strict point system, this seal reflects a careful evaluation of their overall approach to budget debates, votes, and leadership on fiscal matters.
By awarding the Budget Seal of Approval, Freedom Principle MO highlights lawmakers who stood firm for fiscal conservatism and transparency, ensuring Missourians know which representatives worked hardest to safeguard our state’s financial future. This designation is a tool for citizens to identify principled leaders who not only vote with integrity but also actively guard against reckless spending.
