RI Rank counts "taking a walk" as a "no" vote for this reason. While the official vote tally allows our state legislators to escape accountability, our rankings work to restore this accountability.
In our latest Overall Rankings, Rep. Stephen Casey finished 71st out of 75 representatives, scoring a "0" out of 100 in the Open Government category and a "5" in Constituent Outreach.

In 2022, Raymond Hull ranked 52nd out of 75 Reps in our Overall Rankings, scoring 33 out of 100.
Every 2yrs @RIHouseofReps reorganizes & I've appointed @RepRayHull to serve as deputy speaker. He has the respect and admiration of the entire membership. Deputy Speaker Hull is very reflective of my leadership style -- we're both collaborative, consensus-building, moderate Dems.

Our Election Strength rankings score a legislator's historical performance in elections.
While this metric cannot account for the quality of their opponent, in the 2020 election these scores were a strong indicator of the incumbent's end result.

In 2021, House Speaker @JoeShekarchi allowed 26 bills that the @RIACLU supported to go through to a floor vote.
In 2022, just 9 bills the RI ACLU supported were allowed a floor vote by the speaker, creating a gaping hole in civil liberties legislation this session.
