Bridge Grades for Congress

Bridge Grades is like Rotten Tomatoes for politicians.

Bridge Grades is a data-oriented, transparent, independently governed sorting mechanism that scores politicians on their ability to bridge America. Bridge Grades is a non-ideological grading system for politicians.

Using 3rd party data, we grade politicians on their abilities to collaborate, build coalitions, and deliver consensus solutions for the common interests of multiple parties.

In aggregating data from multiple non-partisan 3rd party sources, Bridge Grades measures not “what” a politician believes, but rather “how” the politician behaves - including bill authoring, bill sponsorship, voting records, public statements, and ultimately their effectiveness in delivering pragmatic bi-partisan legislative solutions.

Bridge Grades is deliberately non-ideological. Bridge Grades do NOT consider ideology, nor do they reward centrists. We believe that a wide range of ideological thought makes us strong, but only to the extent our leaders can sit with, listen to, and collaborate with those with opposing views.

Society gives restaurants sanitation grades to help diners make good choices and avoid getting sick. Bridge Grades are sanitation grades for politicians.

As and Bs are bridgers. Cs and Fs are dividers.
