Data from FEC

Recorded individual contributions in the 1998 cycle: $35,350 · 76 receipts

Assembled from Congress.gov · FEC · official disclosures — each fact links its own source

These are verifiable facts from the public record, assembled in one place and presented without judgment. They are not a score, a grade, or a ranking. Context matters: a missed vote may be excused, on leadership or committee duty, or paired; a party-unity rate reflects agenda alignment, not virtue or independence; a disclosed trade or a documented relationship is a required public filing, not evidence of wrongdoing. Each fact links to its full source below.

• 97.6%
  Roll-call participation →

  voted in 619 recorded roll calls · chamber median 100.0%

  Missing a vote is not inherently negative — an absence can be excused, reflect leadership or committee duty, or a recorded pairing.

• 16
  Bills sponsored →

  plus 252 cosponsored

  A count of bills introduced as the primary sponsor; most legislation never advances, regardless of who sponsors it.

• 0
  Sponsored bills enacted →

  of 16 bills sponsored

  Whether a bill becomes law depends on the whole Congress, not the sponsor alone; substantive provisions often pass folded into other vehicles.

• 100%
  Party-unity voting →

  votes with the party majority · median 99% · on 429 party-line votes

  Party-unity is how often a member votes with their own party's majority on party-line votes — it reflects agenda alignment, not loyalty, independence, or virtue.

• 0%
  Cross-party voting →

  votes with the other party's majority on those same votes

  The share of the same party-line votes cast with the OTHER party's majority — a descriptive rate, not a measure of principle.

• 0
  Documented positions →

  no positions documented yet

  Documented, sourced positions we have on record — the absence of a documented position is not the absence of a view.

• 4
  Committee assignments →

  committees and subcommittees

  Committee seats are assignments made by party leadership — a measure of role and jurisdiction, not an achievement or a conflict in itself.

• 14
  Disclosed stock trades →

  13 tickers

  Disclosed trades are legally required public filings (STOCK Act), not evidence of wrongdoing; trades may be executed by a manager or held in a blind trust.

• 2
  Documented relationships →

  neutral overlap signals (e.g., committee oversight of a traded sector)

  A documented relationship is a factual overlap in the public record — NOT evidence of wrongdoing.

Assembled from CivicGate's ingested public records for Brian Babin. A fact shown as “—” means we don't yet hold that data — not that the value is zero.
