The problem is that if Matheson were a Republican with the same voting record, he’d still be a liberal (60% lifetime liberal rating from the ACU). Not an outright moonbat, but still on the left. If your sources are telling you that Matheson is a “Conservative” and moreso than “Conservative Republicans”, that source is simply lying.

Take it up with Club for Growth. I never claimed he was conservative only that he was rated higher than those who considered themselves conservative and we know who is and who isn’t.
...and further research has the Heritage Action Scorecard listing him somewhat lower than Club for Growth. He is still a force from the left in UT and probably garnering quite a few Republican’s in his corner.
