86 Republicans ace American for Prosperity-Florida’s 2025 Legislative scorecard, while several Dems fail

The conservative group Americans for Prosperity-Florida (AFP-FL) has released its 2025 Florida Legislative Scorecard, which grades lawmakers based on their votes for or against the group’s legislative priorities.

Lawmakers received 1 point for voting in alignment with AFP-FL priorities, or for rejecting legislation it also opposed. Lawmakers lost a point for voting against AFP-FL priorities, or for supporting bills the group opposed. Additional points were given to lawmakers who sponsored AFP-FL priority legislation, while points were deducted from lawmakers who sponsored legislation for which the group was opposed.

In all, 86 Republicans earned an “A+” from AFP-FL this year, meaning they received the highest possible score of 100 in voting in alignment with AFP-FL. Only two Republican lawmakers received lower than an “A.” Reps. Kiyan Michael and David Smith each received “B” grades.

Only one Democrat — Rep. Kim Daniels — received a perfect “A+” from AFP-FL this year, while three others earned “A” grades, including Sen. Darryl Rouson and Reps. Jose Alvarez and Mack Bernard.

Six Democrats earned a “B” on the scorecard: Reps. Bruce Antone, Kevin Chambliss, Gallop Franklin and Johanna López, and Sens. Shevrin Jones and Rosalind Osgood.

Another 17 Democrats earned a “C” grade, with 12 being graded “D.”

Four Democrats earned failing scores: Reps. Wallace Aristide, Anna Eskamani, Christine Hunschofsky and Marie Woodson.

The only independent member of the Legislature, Sen. Jason Pizzo, earned an “A.” Pizzo until earlier this year was a registered Democrat.

In all, AFP-FL leaders are pleased that more than 100 members of the House and Senate earned an “A” or higher for supporting AFP priorities or opposing legislation it rejected.

“This scorecard is an important resource for Floridians who want to know where their elected leaders stand on the issues that impact their daily lives,” said Skylar Zander, AFP-FL State Director.

“When lawmakers champion policies that empower people instead of the government, our state succeeds. As we look ahead to the 2026 legislative session, we’re eager to continue working with lawmakers who are committed to driving meaningful, freedom-focused reforms that make life better for all Floridians.”

AFP-FL is a grassroots organization that promotes economic freedom, personal responsibility and limited government. It is pro-business and pro-free market.
