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.
217 votes +434 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.
149 bills +149 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.
33 missed -99 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.
12 bills +36 pts
📋 Bill Introduced (10–24 cosponsors) Bill introduced (10-24) A new bill that attracted moderate support across the chamber. Reaching double-digit co-sponsors suggests the idea is gaining real traction among colleagues.
5 bills +30 pts
📢 Bill Introduced (25+ cosponsors) Bill introduced (25+) A new bill that launched with broad backing. A large co-sponsor list out of the gate is a strong early indicator that legislation could move.
1 bills +10 pts
📜 Bill Introduced (2–9 cosponsors) Bill introduced (2-9) A newly introduced bill that drew a small handful of co-sponsors. Early backers signal a member could line up support before the bill is even referred to committee.
3 bills +9 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.
1 present +0 pts
