Christian Voice has employed hundreds of political organizers, including Susan Hirschman, Chief of Staff to former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, Congressman Tom Hagadorn, who chaired the organization for several years, and Tim LaHaye, author of the Left Behind series.

Morality Ratings Controversy

The Christian Voice morality rating system for American political figures created controversy when Republican Congressmen Richard Kelly, who was convicted of bribery and corruption in the Abscam scandal, and Dan Crane, who was censured for having a sexual relationship with a teenage congressional page (see Congressional Page sex scandal), received 100% morality ratings, while Father Robert Drinan, a Catholic priest who was a Democratic member of Congress at the time, received a 0% morality rating.
