Attendance grade

A 99.58%

A — Strong attendance

1,885 of 1,893 eligible recorded votes.

47th of 512 House members by attendance — higher than 90% 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 above

Recorded votes cast, out of the recorded votes they were eligible for.

Open the formula

Consistency

Not yet graded

Votes against the priorities the member has stated publicly, with compromises accounted for.

Effectiveness

Not yet graded

How far the bills they introduced actually moved, and how many became law.

Bipartisanship

Not yet graded

Cross-aisle cosponsors on their own bills, and votes cast with the other party's majority.

Responsiveness

Not yet graded

The 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 19 · 1%
  • With both party majorities 517 · 27.5%
  • With the Republican majority only 1,297 · 69%
  • Against both party majorities 46 · 2.4%

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. 1,879 of this member's recorded votes are placed by the rule. The other 14 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.

Priorities and work

Stated priorities

Not enough statements on record yet. A list appears once at least 5 of their public statements from this term, covering at least 3 policy areas, have been reviewed and approved. This does not mean they have said nothing on these issues: a statement appears here only after it is collected and reviewed, and that work has only begun.

Actions on the bills this member introduced are the government's own wording, word for word. How statements and votes are paired.
