Record numbers of members are leaving Congress. That means that there’s a more pressing need for information on where politicians stand than in 2022 or past cycles.
GOUSA’s rating system is unique in that we are the only organization that rates based on a comprehensive assessment of where politicians stand on multiple dimensions of opportunity. That’s powerful information for anyone who wants an America where everyone can thrive; where everyone can live the life that they wish to lead.
Here are some stats on retirements
As of mid-December of 2023, 40 of the 535 members of Congress have announced that they are leaving.
At this same point in 2022, there were 30 that announced that they were leaving. At this time in 2020 and 2018 there were 32.
The more open seats, the more rating work we have to do because we have limited prior voting records to use in researching candidates.
In short, GOUSA needs your help. If you haven’t joined our ratings team, hit the volunteer button on our home page.
And please don’t be intimidated. This is a true group effort. We’ll have training, team activities and help sessions all throughout 2024. Like you, we are concerned, motivated individuals like yourself that want to make America the Land of Opportunity again.
