Roll-call participation →
voted in 17 recorded roll calls

Missing a vote is not inherently negative — an absence can be excused, reflect leadership or committee duty, or a recorded pairing.
22
Bills sponsored →
plus 589 cosponsored

A count of bills introduced as the primary sponsor; most legislation never advances, regardless of who sponsors it.
0
Sponsored bills enacted →
of 22 bills sponsored

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.
