The American Conservative Union Foundation has released a scorecard of the Legislature’s 2019 session, crowning rural Republican Sen. Ira Hansen and rural Republican Assemblyman John Ellison as the most likely to vote with the group’s ideology.

The scorecard released was this week ahead of the organization’s Conservative Political Action Conference spinoff, CPAC West, which is scheduled for Friday in Reno. Its overall score for the Assembly — 29 percent — reflects the fact that Democrats have a two-thirds majority in the chamber and advanced legislation that ACU strongly opposes.

“Despite California’s many economic problems, not to mention a record number of families leaving the Golden State, liberal lawmakers of the Nevada State Assembly seem to be replicating California’s failed far-left policies,” ACU Foundation Chairman Matt Schlapp said in a press release.

Behind Hansen, who represents Sparks and a large section of rural Nevada, Boulder City Republican Sen. Joe Hardy was named the second most conservative, with Sens. Pete Goicoechea of Eureka and Scott Hammond of Las Vegas tied for third. Most Democratic senators scored in the single digits, with Democratic Sen. Marcia Washington — who takes socially conservative positions — scoring the highest at 17 percent.

In the Assembly, Mesquite’s Chris Edwards, Carson City’s Al Kramer and Lyon County’s Robin Titus tied for second most conservative. Democrat Skip Daly, who represents a swingy Sparks district, was ranked the most conservative Assembly member from his party.

But others were less predictable, including:
