Crossing the aisle

40% of the index · median used

Too few scorecards list this member to place them. The index uses the median of every member, 50.

    Votes that helped donors

    not scored yet

    This part will compare the member's votes with the industries that fund their campaigns. It needs donor industry data we cannot yet read reliably, so it is not part of any score today.
