Following are Group Ratings by independent political groups, which are used to indicate politicians' stances on the issues. We report each group's rating using their own terminology; and we try to balance liberal groups against conservative groups. Votes which include "VoteMatch Usage" are scored as VoteMatch quiz responses. Those without a VoteMatch usage are included only on each candidate's main issues page.
