Senate District 01

Senator Southerland: (R) Chair, Senate Energy, Agriculture and Natural Resources Committee 2nd Vice-Chair, Senate Ethics Committee Member, Senate Commerce and Labor Committee. Senator Southerland has a commendable vote score but could improve his leadership grade by sponsoring strong, freedom-preserving bills and co-sponsoring those that he supports with his votes. He sponsored just 2 of our 32 TLRC recommended bills this year. We hope to do better all around next year. The senate has much room for improvement.
