What's Your Box Score?

Often with policies, the end result isn't as simple as a "yea" or "nay" vote. Even more so much of what you are trying to do is a process more than a one time deal.

Knowing this, the best way to gauge how you are doing is by knowing how far you've come.

Identify key interactions on each policy, and rate each influence maker on those interactions:

- Did they meet with you?
- Were they receptive to the discussion?
- Did they agree?
- Did they support?
- Did they sponsor?
- Did they co-sponsor?
- Did they vote in committee?
- Did they vote on the floor?

Those number show the work that goes into this, much more than a final score does.
