Malone's Senate record reflected a [[conservative]] bent: 90 to 100 percent support from the pro-business Louisiana Association of Business and Industry, 0 percent from [[Planned Parenthood]], 100 percent from the Louisiana Family Forum, 77 percent from the [[Christian Coalition]], and 22 percent from the Louisiana Environmental Action Network. Malone, however, has accumulated a 71 percent rating from the [[AFL-CIO]] and 60 percent from the Louisiana Association of Educators, the state's largest teachers' organization.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.vote-smart.org/issue_rating_category.php?can_id=8997|title=Project Vote Smart: Interest Group Ratings|publisher=Vote-smart.org |accessdate=December 27, 2019}}</ref>

Malone rarely voted to raise taxes and was hence nicknamed "No Tax Max." He opposed the gaming industry by rejecting a proposed $50 million bailout for Harrah's Entertainment casino in [[New Orleans]]. He also opposed permanent dockside gambling in exchange for an increased tax with the proceeds earmarked for teacher pay raises.
