In the following list, the 435 House members are assigned liberal and conservative scores for their roll-call votes on key economic issues during 2004. The scores on each scale are given as percentiles. On this page, members are ordered from most conservative to most liberal.

A score of 72 on the liberal scale, for example, means that the member was more liberal than 72 percent of his or her House colleagues on economic issue votes during 2004. An asterisk [*] means the member missed more than half of the rated votes. In the event of a tie, scores are ordered alphabetically first by state delegation, then by individual members' names within that state.
