Voting record, 119th Congress
How these are counted
Attendance is the share of roll calls held while the member was in office on which they voted Yea, Nay or Present. A party-line vote is a roll call on which a majority of Republicans voted against a majority of Democrats. Voting with the Democratic majority is the share of the member’s cast votes on those roll calls that matched that majority. The roll calls come from Voteview, which compiles each vote from the official record; Votewiser does the counting.

How these are counted
Each roll call takes the policy area the Library of Congress gave the bill it is about; a vote on an amendment counts under its bill. 907 of the Senate’s 915 roll calls this Congress have an issue. Left out as procedural (8): votes on House rules and the previous question, motions to recommit or adjourn, quorum calls and the Speaker election. Nominations are their own issue. “With the Democratic majority” counts every issue vote on which most Democrats voted the same way, Yea or Nay. “Against both parties” = most Democrats and most Republicans voted one way and this member the other. “With the Republican majority” = a party-line vote (most of each party on opposite sides) on which this member sided with the Republicans. Independents count with the party they caucus with. The Senate roll calls come from Voteview; Votewiser does the counting.
