Matheson Receives A from national anti-poverty group

The Sargent Shriver National Center on Poverty Law provides national leadership in identifying, developing and supporting creative and collaborative approaches to achieve social and economic justice for low-income people and communities.

An important component of its national work is the annual publication of the Poverty Scorecard, which provides a snapshot of how each US Senator and Representative voted on legislation having to do with a range of issues. The Scorecard provides a measure of elected officials' commitment to achieving justice and opportunity for low-income Americans.
