Buerkle Tops Club For Growth Ranking In NY
Rep. Ann Marie Buerkle received the top rating from the fiscally conservative Club For Growth, according to the rankings released by the Washington-based group this morning.
It’s not too surprising, given the Republican freshman’s deep conservative streak in Congress. But Buerkle’s rating of 92 percent — based on key votes compiled by the group — blows away any other New York Republican.
The runner-ups in New York were Reps. Tom Reed, who received a 68 percent rating and Nan Hayworth at 56 percent. The dean of the GOP delegation, Long Island Rep. Peter King, scored a 48 percent this year.
As Bill Carey documented earlier, Buerkle has been working to maintain ties to the right as she faces what’s expected to be a tough re-election year.
Here are the full rankings:
