How this is computed

P Primary sponsor · C Co-sponsor · Y Yea vote · N Nay vote

Bills where the legislator voted nay (without sponsorship) contribute -0.1 per bill. Equal yea and nay roll calls on the same bill contribute 0.

Vote date filters affect vote attribution; sponsorship is always included.
