The 62 Project!

Filed in Delaware by on May 27, 2014

Yes, it still exists, although it’s been in limbo for awhile.

For those of you who were too young and/or didn’t read this blog religiously or atheistically at the time, the 62 Project is/was designed to rank all of the legislators based on their effectiveness, accomplishments, and progressive principles. These are/were career rankings, not simply snapshots of a given period. Clearly, those with longer careers have more of a track record, for better or for worse, and are less subject to major changes in the rankings.

I now realize that there’s no way that I can continue to write the type of extensive profiles I’ve been doing, and complete this project by (my newest deadline) the September primaries. So, I will write shorter profiles that I hope capture the reason for each legislator’s ranking. Let’s first recap those I’ve already ranked:

21. Speaker Pete Schwartzkopf

22. Sen. Bruce Ennis

23. Sen. Bethany Hall Long

24. Rep. Kim Williams

25. Rep. Mike Mulrooney

26. Rep. Bryon Short

27. Rep. Rebecca Walker (I admit it. I overrated her.)

28. Sen. Cathy Cloutier

29. Rep. Mike Ramone

30. Rep. Debra Heffernan

31. Rep. Dennis E. Williams

32. Sen. Nicole Poore (Ranking trending down.)

33. Rep. Andria Bennett (I admit it. I underrated her. Once I finish the list, I’ll probably flip her ranking with Rebecca Walker’s.)

34. Rep. Gerald Brady

35.  Sen. Ernie Lopez

36. Rep. Danny Short

37. Rep. Don Blakey

38. Rep. Trey Paradee

39.  Rep. John Viola

40.  Rep. Stephanie Bolden

41. Rep. Joe Miro

Coming later today (I swear), new rankings!!

    No offense to Claire Snyder-Hall, who is a great candidate and will make a great state Senator, but Lopez is better than his 35th place rank. (Or maybe I’m just giving him points for not being Wilson Phillips….)

    I am glad this is still a thing, I thought it just went away, I am glad you reviewed Bennett’s ranking she should be higher on the list
