Special Reports
Americans for the Arts Action Fund has produced a Congressional Arts Report Card for the U.S. House of Representatives, assigning each Member a letter grade and numerical score based on his or her record on numerous arts and arts education policy issues. Each state and region received an average score. The Congressional Arts Report Card includes a detailed voting record on the arts for each Member. We did not issue a report card for the Senate because it has taken no arts-specific votes in several years.
