Coming Soon

The TEA Grades are in active development. We are building the data infrastructure to pull voting records, financial disclosures, town hall attendance, and legislative activity from public sources. When it launches, every candidate will get a public, searchable grade on Transparency, Efficiency, and Affordability.

Close this to preview the format with sample races.

Senate race grades will be added as primary elections conclude and general election matchups are set. The Ohio and Florida special elections are currently in the primary stage.

How We Score

Each candidate is graded on three axes: Transparency, Efficiency, and Affordability. Each axis is scored 0–100 using a published rubric with specific criteria, formulas, and public data sources. The overall TEA score is the simple average of all three. Incumbents are scored on their voting record and public actions. Challengers are scored on their platform and responses to the TEA Questionnaire. Every criterion is auditable.
