Representatives Bruce Anderson, of Buffalo, Mark Buesgens, of Jordan, Tom Emmer, of Delano, Tom Hackbarth, of Cedar, and Joyce Peppin, of Rogers, all scored 100 percent on the votes the league used to judge.

Sen. Warren Limmer, of Maple Grove, scored an 85 percent.
Senators Chris Gerlach, of Apple Valley, Mike Jungbauer, of East Bethel, Paul Koering, of Fort Ripley, Pat Pariseau, of Farmington, Claire Robling, of Jordan, and Ray Vandeveer, of Forest Lake, all scored in the 60s.
