Track record

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

Roll-call participation →
voted in 60 recorded roll calls

Missing a vote is not inherently negative — an absence can be excused, reflect leadership or committee duty, or a recorded pairing.
24
Bills sponsored →
plus 614 cosponsored

A count of bills introduced as the primary sponsor; most legislation never advances, regardless of who sponsors it.
0
Sponsored bills enacted →
of 24 bills sponsored

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

Party-unity voting
votes with the party majority · on 40 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.
3%
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.
