Track record

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

92.2%
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.
31
Bills sponsored →
plus 292 cosponsored

A count of bills introduced as the primary sponsor; most legislation never advances, regardless of who sponsors it.
1
Sponsored bills enacted →
of 31 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 416 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.
8
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.

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