  No grade

  No grade yet

  I have no votes in Congress to count for Dulaney, and what Dulaney has said and done settles only 1 of my principles. I went through it on October 26. A grade needs 4.

Cleophus Dulaney, on the record

I have no votes in Congress to count for Dulaney, so the grade above comes from this list: what Dulaney has said and done on my principles. Each line has its source, and each is marked with the same test I use for votes.

  “I will defend free speech and peaceful assembly”

  By the test I use for votes

  “I will push to lower prescription drug prices by letting Medicare negotiate directly”

  By the test I use for votes

  Says the government should not let foreign workers take jobs that Americans could do.

  “The government should not allow for foreign person to come here to take a job from Americans with a well-paying jobs to a foreigner.”

  ?Not clear either way

  He speaks of foreign workers' jobs, not border enforcement or deportation, so the measure is not settled.
