Marjorie Taylor Greene (MTG), the Republican congresswoman from Georgia’s 14th Congressional District, has become one of the most polarizing yet influential conservative figures in the modern Republican Party. Her record in the House, since taking office in January 2021, reflects uncompromising populist-conservative positions, with an emphasis on government accountability, border security, medical freedom, and the defunding of what she calls the deep state.
Let’s break down her record and ranking clearly:
Legislative Activity and Focus
1. Sponsored & Co-Sponsored Bills:
She has introduced or co-sponsored hundreds of bills and resolutions, many of which align with America First priorities.
Her legislative focus centers on:
Defunding the ATF, FBI, CDC, and other agencies she asserts have become weaponized against citizens.
Border security: Co-sponsoring the “Finish the Wall” initiatives and bills stopping federal funds to sanctuary cities.
Education: Advocating to cut federal influence in schools, particularly concerning gender ideology, CRT, and “SEL” programs.
Medical freedom: Introducing bills to ban vaccine mandates, oppose mask mandates, and investigate COVID-19 origin corruption.
Accountability: She has repeatedly introduced articles of impeachment against Joe Biden, Merrick Garland, Christopher Wray, and other officials, arguing abuse of power, dereliction of duty, and corruption.
2. Committee Work:
Initially removed from her committees in 2021 by the Democratic-led House due to controversial comments made before her election.
Later reassigned to the House Homeland Security Committee and House Oversight Committee under the GOP majority (2023–present).
There, she’s utilized hearings to demand transparency about border security failures, vaccine injury data, and foreign policy decisions especially regarding Ukraine and Israel funding.
3. Voting Record:
MTG votes consistently in alignment with the most conservative members of Congress, often siding with the Freedom Caucus and opposing establishment Republicans.
She has voted against omnibus spending bills, Ukraine aid, and surveillance extensions like FISA renewal.
Supported expelling corrupt or establishment-aligned Republicans, demonstrating her willingness to challenge her own party.
Conservative Ranking
According to multiple scorecards (as of her 2024 rankings, the latest publicly available data):
Heritage Action for America:
Lifetime score: Around 98–99%, placing her among the top 10 most conservative House members.
Conservative Review Liberty Score:
Grade: A (near 100%) — consistent with the most ideologically pure conservative legislators.
FreedomWorks:
Lifetime score: Typically in the high 90s, again labeling her as a “Top Conservative Performer.”
American Conservative Union (CPAC):
Lifetime score: Around 96–98%, again confirming she’s among the most conservative in Congress.
These rankings place her ideologically close to members like Andy Biggs, Matt Gaetz, and Thomas Massie, but with greater focus on grassroots populism and cultural conservatism.
Even though much of her proposed legislation hasn’t passed, Greene’s political impact stems from her role in realigning the Republican Party’s narrative:
She forces uncomfortable transparency in hearings.
She has substantial influence within the conservative base, particularly with younger activists and anti-establishment voters.
She’s criticized within her own party at times for tactical disagreements especially around methods of holding leadership accountable but remains a core ideological force in the America First movement.
