The Republican Liberty Caucus has published its 2023 liberty-focused scorecard for the U.S. Senate.
The Liberty Index scores Republican Senators on 20 pivotal bills/votes from 2023 that either advance liberty or diminish liberty. For information on the bills selected, see the bill explanations on pages three and four of the document.
The Liberty Score is obtained by calculating the percentage that a Senator votes in line with the RLC. For example, the highest possible Liberty Score is 100. This is achieved if a Senator voted with the RLC 100% of the time.
A high score on this scorecard does not equate to an automatic endorsement from the RLC. This scorecard simply evaluates the voting record of each Republican Senator during the 2023 calendar year.
The Top Defenders of Liberty demonstrated an unwavering commitment to the principles of individual liberty, limited government and free markets. This means they voted against wasteful spending, they stood up for our constitutional rights, they voted to repeal unneeded laws/regulations, and they supported a non-interventionist foreign policy that keeps American troops out of undeclared wars.
Senator Rand Paul was the only Senator who earned a perfect score of 100. Other top scorers were Mike Braun (95) and Mike Lee (90). J.D. Vance was the highest scoring freshman Senator (85).

Only those 4 mentioned achieve a good score
The GOP is clearly gone ...
Lowest scoring Republicans:
Romney: 20
Collins: 25
McConnell: 25
Rounds: 25
Tim Scott: 25
Tillis: 25
Rand Paul should replace McConnell and he should bring in new management team. Time to re-make the Senate.
The trouble is he’s outnumbered by about 10 to 1
How is he - or any true conservative - meant to win!
JD- 85? Gotta stay on that guy. Hope Moreno can join up
Tim Scott???
I’m quite sure Scott is better than that. He is on the list of possible Trump VP’s.
Rand tweeted about Moreno - He likes him.
OH could have 2 liberty loving senators?
@RandPaul
Congrats on your victory in the OH Republican primary for US Senate, @berniemoreno!
Bernie will cut spending, keep us out of endless wars, and fight for the Constitution. We need more conservative fighters in Washington, and I look forward to working with Bernie to take on DC.
I had a quick look at the bills they score on a lot of it is the CRs (spending), war powers and cutting regulations
I’m afraid T Scott doesn’t score very well on these measures.
Are you sure? I see the Liberty Score at 77%

The Heritage Foundation rates the man at 94%!

Tim Scott is certainly far better than those bottom dweller.
They all have different “key” bills they score on, etc.
True. But any rating that links Scott and those RINO’s is pure Bull Cheese. A far greater index is not “key” bills, but an overall voting record.
And on that basis, Scott is better than average.
propaganda for rand paul....
he may have some good stances, but he’s looking for power as much as anyone else in office
and he’s been involved in supporting scams himself.
He’d be one hell of a great vice president.
Can he get the votes from his fellow senators to win? I’m not sure he’s made many connections for this job. He’s better as an ankle biter.
Agree. RP would make a great VP
bttt
