Group ranks top conservatives in Virginia statehouse

Published October 14, 2011 4:00am ET



A new ranking of the most conservative members of the Virginia legislature includes the Republican Party leaders in the House of Delegates and a southwestern Democrat.

The American Conservative Union rated Virginia lawmakers based on their votes on a number of bills they described as key issues for their cause — 13 for senators and 20 for delegates. It’s the first time the organization has released the report for statehouses (it normally ranks Congress) and specifically targeted Florida, Nevada, North Carolina, Ohio and Virginia.
