Plymouth District Senators
with good ratings from GOAL and the NRA

As a Senator, anything above a zero indicates some support of NRA/GOAL advocated legislation. Senators votes have more power based on the number of Senators vs House Reps. Do you see an improvement in NRA/GOAL scores? Ask them “why?”
