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.
52 votes +104 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.
41 bills +41 pts
✅ Amendment Adopted Amendment adopted One of the member's proposed amendments was accepted into the bill. Getting an amendment adopted takes negotiation and timing, so it rewards effective legislating, not just effort.
2 amendments +20 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.
5 missed -15 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.
2 bills +6 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.
1 votes +5 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.
2 bills +2 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.
2 amendments +2 pts
📜 Commemorative Resolution Commemorative resolution A ceremonial resolution — recognizing a day, month, group, or event, or expressing the sense of the chamber (HRES / SRES / HCONRES / SCONRES). These cannot become law and are scored flat, regardless of how many co-sponsors they attract, so a commemorative never outscores substantive legislation.
1 bills +1 pts
➖ Present Voted present The member was on the floor but formally declined to take a side, voting present rather than yea or nay. It is a deliberate, recorded choice, sometimes used to avoid a conflict of interest, so it is neutral by default.
2 present +0 pts
