Points Breakdown

2nd Session · 2026
🗳️ Vote Cast Floor vote cast Earned each time the member votes yea or nay on a recorded floor vote. Roll-call votes are the clearest public record of where a member stands, and showing up to cast them is the most basic duty of the job.
75 votes +150 pts
❌ Missed Vote Missed vote The member was absent and cast no vote on a recorded question. Missed votes are tracked publicly and can signal anything from a scheduling conflict to disengagement, so this is a penalty by default.
42 missed -126 pts
🤜 Bill Cosponsored Co-sponsored a bill The member added their name in support of a colleague's bill. Co-sponsorship is the main way members build the coalitions a bill needs to advance, without being the lead sponsor.
20 bills +20 pts
🌉 Bipartisan Bonus Bipartisan co-sponsor bonus Awarded when a co-sponsorship crosses party lines. Bipartisan support is one of the strongest predictors that a bill will actually become law, so it earns extra credit here.
5 bills +15 pts
🗳 Cross-Party Vote Cross-party vote bonus Awarded when a member votes yea on final passage of a substantive bill whose lead sponsor is from the other party. Voting to pass the other side's bill is a public, recorded act of reaching across the aisle, and it is rarer than a bipartisan co-sponsorship, so it earns more.
2 votes +10 pts
📜 Bill Introduced (solo) Bill introduced (solo) The member formally introduced a bill with no co-sponsors. Thousands of bills are introduced each Congress and most never advance, but introducing one is how every law begins.
5 bills +5 pts
📝 Amendment Sponsored Amendment sponsored The member proposed a specific change to a bill being debated. Amendments are how legislation gets shaped on the floor and in committee, line by line, before a final vote.
1 amendments +1 pts
