The U.S. Chamber of Commerce has released its annual scorecard of Senators and members of Congress, and the organization updated its ratings of Alabama’s delegation.
The Democratic members of the delegation received the lowest lifetime scores, with Doug Jones and Terri Sewell getting a 66% and 62% rating, respectively. Jones is up for re-election this year and will face either Jeff Sessions or Tommy Tuberville in November. Sewell’s name was floated as a possible choice to be Joe Biden‘s running mate.
The Republican members of the delegation received the highest lifetime scores based on their support of businesses. Congresswoman Martha Roby received the highest score from the Chamber in both the annual and lifetime ratings. Roby has opted not to seek re-election this fall and will leave office in January.
According to the U.S. Chamber’s website, the organization has been releasing the ratings since 1865, and they measure the favorability of the respective senator or representative towards business priorities in Congress.
