How we placed them

Placed only by their own votes: we took the 222 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

We list only town halls and questionnaires we can confirm from a public source, so a short list doesn't mean Rep. Jill Koford hasn't met with voters. A missed vote can have a good reason, such as illness or a family emergency.
