Gov. Ralph Northam ranked in the middle for his economic freedom performance when compared with other governors in the country, according to a report released by the American Legislative Exchange Council.

ALEC, a conservative think tank, released its first-ever governors’ rankings last week in the Laffer-ALEC Report on Economic Freedom: Grading America’s 50 Governors. The report ranked America’s 50 governors based on policy performance and executive leadership before and after the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.
