How this page is built
Sponsorship data comes from the Legislation Watch bill feed — every bill's primary sponsor and cosponsors are fetched from OpenStates and matched to this representative by ID. Voting data comes from the same OpenStates feed, joined to bills already screened by Legislation Watch.
A vote scores with the platform when they voted yea on an aligned bill (or nay on an opposed bill); against when the inverse. Mixed-alignment bills, abstain votes, and absences don't count toward the headline rate. Bills that don't touch any WTPPPA platform plank are filtered out entirely.
