The Colorado Union of Taxpayers (CUT) rates how often legislators vote with its positions on taxes, spending, TABOR and other issues, including property rights and parental rights.
The guide gives each listed year equal weight, omits years without a rating and rounds only the final average to one decimal. This is a guide calculation, not a CUT-published lifetime score. Ty Winter's 2025 booklet rating is 73%; CUT's BillTrack50 scorecard lists 72.4%. This guide uses the published booklet's 73%.
