Bridge Grades

About Bridge Grades

Bridge Grades is a non-ideological report card for politicians. We compile impartial objective 3rd party data to rank every member of Congress on how collaboratively or divisively they govern. Our grading rubric rewards consensus solutions, civil discourse, coalition building, and courageous bridging. We sort legislative "bridgers" from "dividers" on a relative basis to their peers. Bridge Grades is an objective, transparent, and open-source public utility designed to shift political incentives for a healthier Legislative Branch. In objectively identifying bridgers, we offer millions of Americans exhausted by partisan politics a viable and data-driven onramp back to civics. Our systems are calibrated to reliably and objectively sort bridgers from dividers to assist non-partisan voters in casting smarter ballots – for a healthier Legislative Branch more capable of representing our common interests and more effective in our constitutional system of checks-and-balances. Check our website to see whether your Congressional leaders are bridgers or dividers.
