DATA: Texas AFL-CIO Relaunches Texas Legislature Pro-Worker Scorecard; Ranking Members by Votes

TEXAS – Today, the Texas AFL-CIO publicly relaunched its pro-worker scorecard for members of the Texas Legislature following the special sessions.

“Texas workers need our lawmakers to show up and fight for them — and this special session was no different,” said Texas AFL-CIO Secretary-Treasurer Leonard Aguilar. “You’re either for Texas workers or you’re for billionaires’ bank accounts. By making this data publicly available, we’re giving Texans the information they need to evaluate their legislators, especially heading into the 2026 election season.”
