Scorecards
A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.
Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.

- See also: Republican National Convention, 2016
Wilson was a delegate to the 2016 Republican National Convention from Alaska. Wilson was one of 11 delegates from Alaska bound by state party rules to support Donald Trump at the convention.[11] As of July 13, 2016, Trump had approximately 1,542 delegates. The winner of the Republican nomination needed the support of 1,237 delegates. Trump formally won the nomination on July 19, 2016.
RNC Rules Committee
- See also: RNC Rules Committee, 2016
Wilson was a member of the RNC Rules Committee, a 112-member body responsible for crafting the official rules of the Republican Party, including the rules that governed the 2016 Republican National Convention.[12]
Appointment process
The convention Rules Committee in 2016 consisted of one male and one female delegate from each state and territorial delegation. The Rules of the Republican Party required each delegation to elect from its own membership representatives to serve on the Rules Committee.
Delegate rules
Delegates from Alaska to the Republican National Convention were elected at the Alaska GOP state convention in April 2016. The Alaska Republican Party rules for 2016 required delegates to vote at the convention for the candidate to whom they pledged their support at the time of their election at the state convention. Delegates could vote for a different candidate than the one to whom they pledged their support only if, after the second round of voting, that candidate had received the lowest number of votes. If a candidate "dropped out" of the race prior to the national convention, his or her delegates were reapportioned among the remaining candidates.
