The Americans for the Arts Action Fund put out their Congressional Arts Report Card today. The report card addresses the U.S. House of Representatives based on arts-specific activities. The report is available for download as a PDF file.

House Members received grades chiefly based on vote on arts funding, introduction or cosponsorship of arts-related legislation, Signatures on “Dear Colleague” letters to the Appropriations Committee, asking it to increase funding for the NEA or for arts education and Membership in the Congressional Arts Caucus with major votes counting most heavily.

So how do Colorado representatives rate on their support for the arts, culture and arts education?

District	Representative (Party)	Score	Grade
7	Beauprez (R)	0	F
1	Degette (D)	94	A
5	Hefly (R)	6	D
4	Musgrave (R)	0	F
3	Salazar(D)	25	D
6	Tancredo(R)	0	F
2	Udall(D)	72	B

Overall Colorado ranked a very average C with Vermont ranking #1, followed by Maine, Hawaii, Maine, Massachusetts, Delaware and New York. At the bottom was Wyoming and Arkansas. What is your state's rank?

Want to know your candidates position on the arts? Americans for the Arts Action Fund PAC conducted candidate arts surveys from 12 of the more competitive races are now available online for your review. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem that any Republicans replied to the survey so I don't know how helpful they will be.
