The 62 Project!
Yes, it still exists, although it’s been in limbo for awhile.
For those of you who were too young and/or didn’t read this blog religiously or atheistically at the time, the 62 Project is/was designed to rank all of the legislators based on their effectiveness, accomplishments, and progressive principles. These are/were career rankings, not simply snapshots of a given period. Clearly, those with longer careers have more of a track record, for better or for worse, and are less subject to major changes in the rankings.
I now realize that there’s no way that I can continue to write the type of extensive profiles I’ve been doing, and complete this project by (my newest deadline) the September primaries. So, I will write shorter profiles that I hope capture the reason for each legislator’s ranking. Let’s first recap those I’ve already ranked:
22. Sen. Bruce Ennis
26. Rep. Bryon Short
27. Rep. Rebecca Walker (I admit it. I overrated her.)
29. Rep. Mike Ramone
32. Sen. Nicole Poore (Ranking trending down.)
33. Rep. Andria Bennett (I admit it. I underrated her. Once I finish the list, I’ll probably flip her ranking with Rebecca Walker’s.)
35. Sen. Ernie Lopez
36. Rep. Danny Short
37. Rep. Don Blakey
39. Rep. John Viola
41. Rep. Joe Miro
Coming later today (I swear), new rankings!!

No offense to Claire Snyder-Hall, who is a great candidate and will make a great state Senator, but Lopez is better than his 35th place rank. (Or maybe I’m just giving him points for not being Wilson Phillips….)
I am glad this is still a thing, I thought it just went away, I am glad you reviewed Bennett’s ranking she should be higher on the list
Ahhh, you red my mind! I hadn’t scrolled down far enough!
