The Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) announced Tuesday that it had created a scorecard for U.S. governors.

"BREAKING: CPAC Foundation releases first-of-its-kind scorecard of Republican governors based on the full scope of a governors’ actions including spending, regulation, and legislation," CPAC wrote on the social media platform, X.

CPAC already maintains a scorecard that rates conservative members of both the House and the Senate.

“CPAC set out to determine which governors have best answered the call to defend their state from woke socialism and fight for economic prosperity,” CPAC Chairman Matt Schlapp said in a statement.

The governors' rating page on CPAC's website has a list of all 50 states. Some governors have already been rated while others have not.

Among those already rated are Tennessee GOP Gov. Bill Lee, with an 82.5% approval rating, and Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders, with a 96.3% approval rating.
