57 of 62 eligible recorded votes.
104th of 118 Senate members by attendance — higher than 11.9% of them.
Attendance is the only graded category so far. Four more — consistency, effectiveness, bipartisanship and responsiveness — are listed below with what each will measure. There is no overall grade until they exist.
Grades
Five categories are planned, each with its formula published. One is graded today. Readers will be able to set their own weights across the categories once there is more than one to weigh — how attendance is graded.
Attendance
Graded aboveRecorded votes cast, out of the recorded votes they were eligible for.
Consistency
Not yet gradedVotes against the priorities the member has stated publicly, with compromises accounted for.

Bipartisanship
Not yet gradedCross-aisle cosponsors on their own bills, and votes cast with the other party's majority.
Responsiveness
Not yet gradedThe share of requests for comment their office answers within 14 days.
Every recorded vote, by whose majority they sided with
- With the Democratic majority only 1 · 1.8%
- With both party majorities 10 · 18.2%
- With the Republican majority only 44 · 80%
- Against both party majorities 0 · 0%None.
One dot is 10 votes; the exact count is beside each line. A party's majority on a roll call is whichever of yea or nay it cast more of; on a tie that party has no majority to side with. 55 of this member's recorded votes are placed by the rule. The other 7 are not: a “present” or absent position takes no side, and some roll calls (a Speaker election, for instance) have no yea/nay totals at all. The full rule.
