Kate Brophy McGee has described herself as a moderate Republican.[3] After winning re-election in 2018, she emphasized that her political agenda was "moderation."[4] McGee has a 68% lifetime conservative rating from the American Conservative Union, a 54% rating from the fiscally conservative Arizona Chapter of Americans for Prosperity and she has an 86% rating from the socially conservative group, Center for Arizona Policy; she had a 53% grade in 2018 from the NRA Political Victory Fund (NRA).[5] Planned Parenthood, which supports abortion rights, gave her a 50% rating while NARAL Pro-Choice America, which also supports abortion rights, gave her a 0% rating.[6] She received a 42% rating, lower than most Democrats but higher than most Republicans, from the Arizona Education Association as well as a 67% rating from the animal rights group, Humane Voters of Arizona, and a 0% from the Sierra Club, an environmentalist advocacy group.[7][8]
She was the only Republican who voted with Democrats against requiring that women be asked more questions before having an abortion.[9][10] McGee also joined Democrats to oppose expanding the voucher system for private schools.[11] She was one of three Republicans who broke with their party joining Democrats to vote against a bill that would have required harsher sentences for undocumented immigrants in court.[12] In 2018, she co-sponsored a bill to ban conversion therapy from being used on minors.[13] In May 2019, she was one of two Republicans in the State Senate who voted against an anti-abortion bill to fund anti-abortion clinics and to prohibit giving referrals to clinics that offer abortion.[14][15]
According to a study pulled by the Arizona Center for Investigative Reporting, McGee voted with a majority of Democrats 52% of the time, but she still voted more often with her own party.[3]
