Know exactly who's with you — and why to show up in November.

Keep your word and your score holds. Break it and your score drops before the next election. This scorecard follows a candidate for their entire career.

What is We The Vetted?
We The Vetted is a free, openly conservative voter guide. Every election, thousands of Illinois gun owners ask the same question: who do I actually vote for? We answer it. We grade the Republican nominee in each race — from local seats to Congress — against a constitutional-originalist standard (the Second Amendment first, plus the First, Fourth, Fifth, and Tenth Amendments) with one plain 1–10 score — so you know if they're a Constitution Champion or a RINO — and we show you exactly where their Democrat opponent stands.
1. We grade the record
We research each candidate's votes, public statements, and questionnaire answers, and score every issue 1–10.
2. You see your real choice
One clear score and an amendment-by-amendment breakdown for your Republican — plus the contrast with their Democrat opponent. No spin, no jargon.
3. The score can't be bought
Free forever. Ads and campaign upgrades change visibility only — never a rating. Our criteria are public.
What we grade
A 1–10 score on each issue, rolled into one honest verdict — built on public records, votes, and candidate statements.
