Campaigns Tracker 2008

Use the map on this page to view the complete set of scores for members of Congress in relation to other members from the same state. Choosing Alabama, for instance, will show all liberal and conservative scores for both senators and all seven representatives from Alabama.

You can sort the ratings for House members from most or least liberal to conservative, and vice versa, or by district.

How To Read These Ratings
A score of 78 on economic issues, for example, means that the representative was more liberal than 78 percent of his or her House colleagues on key economic votes during 2007. "*" means the member missed more than half of the rated votes. "†" denotes members who have left their seat. The designations "E" and "S" and "F" in the results display refer to the "economic" and "social" and "foreign" policy votes used to determine overall ratings.
