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.
312 votes +624 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.
106 bills +106 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.
11 bills +33 pts
🏛️ Passed Committee Passes committee A bill the member sponsored was approved by its committee and sent to the full chamber. Committees are where most bills stall, so clearing this step is a meaningful hurdle.
2 bills +30 pts
✅ Passed Chamber Passes full chamber A sponsored bill won a majority vote in the full House or Senate. The large majority of introduced bills never reach a floor vote, let alone pass one.
1 bills +25 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.
3 votes +15 pts
📢 Bill Introduced (10+ cosponsors) Bill introduced (10+) A new bill that launched with a broad coalition of 10 or more co-sponsors. A large co-sponsor list out of the gate is a strong early indicator that legislation could actually move.
1 bills +8 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.
6 bills +6 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.
2 bills +6 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.
1 missed -3 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
