Record by Congress

The same count for each Congress the member voted in. “With the grade” is the share of Yea/Nay votes on A–B and D–F measures cast Yea on A–B or Nay on D–F (C votes are neutral); it is shown, with the change from the previous Congress, only for records that meet the evidence threshold. The Scoreboard ranks the current Congress only.
