​​How We Rated the Representatives
​
Ratings are based on a combination of several factors:
-
Number of and percentage of bills authored with a member of the opposing party
-
Percentage of bills cosponsored with a member of the opposing party
-
Percentage of votes with the majority of the opposing party and against the majority of the Representative's own party
-
Percentage of votes supporting legislation supported by a majority of both parties
​
An average of data for the years 2019 through 2021 was used for the ratings. Representatives were penalized for opposing certification of either the 2016 or 2020 presidential election results without credible evidence (as determined by the courts) of election fraud. The same methodology was used to rate senators and representatives but the scoring for number of bills authored was adjusted to reflect that the average senator authors more bills than the average representative.
​
The rankings above are provided for educational purposes and are not intended to support or advocate for or against any individual or party.
