Track record

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.

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

  • 18
    Bills sponsored →

    plus 104 cosponsored

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

    of 18 bills sponsored

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

    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.

    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.

  • 732
    Disclosed stock trades →

    126 tickers · 182 in a sector a committee they sit on oversees

    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.

    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 Kevin Hern. A fact shown as “—” means we don't yet hold that data — not that the value is zero.
