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

Most conservative first.
Do they follow their party's stated positions?
Rep. Sandra Hollins measured against the Utah House Democratic Caucus's 2026 priorities (we found no campaign promises of their own). The Utah Democratic Party's own platform (April 2024) states broad values with no planks a bill can be checked against, so Democrats in both chambers are measured against the House Democratic Caucus's 2026 agenda, the most specific one either Democratic caucus published.

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