How we placed them
Placed only by their own votes: we took the 419 contested House floor votes of the 2026 session (where at least 10% voted on the losing side) and found the main line that divides how members vote, the same idea political scientists use to score Congress. No bill is labeled liberal or conservative by us; the conservative end is simply the side where most Republicans fall. More on how this works

How we place legislators
We don't label any bill conservative or liberal. We use the floor votes that most divided the chamber, see which side most Republicans and most Democrats took, and count how often each member sided with each.
We find the line the House's floor votes split along most often; the side most Republicans took is called the conservative side, and each vote counts by how strongly it follows that line.

How they got on the ballot
In Utah, a party's candidates reach the primary ballot through the party convention (delegates vote), by gathering voters' signatures, or both.
- 2026 (State House District 22, Democratic): A candidate in the November 2026 election (the state's list doesn't show results yet). They filed to gather signatures, but the state's list shows none certified for them; their place on the ballot appears to have come through their party's convention.
- 2024 (State House 22, Democratic): Elected in November 2024. They gathered signatures (738 certified of the 1,000 required; the state's status: "Declared intent to gather signatures"). Their place on the ballot appears to have come through their party's convention.
From the Lieutenant Governor's candidate filings and signature-gathering lists for Rep. Jennifer Dailey-Provost's races (2026, 2024); last checked Nov 13, 2026.

Do they follow their party's stated positions?
Rep. Jennifer Dailey-Provost measured against the Utah House Democratic Caucus's 2026 priorities.
