Voting Metrics for a US House Member

The recent Speaker of the House elections turned the nation’s focus to the US House. How could a representative’s voting be tracked monthly with a few metrics?

How about two metrics?

  • Percent Conservative (vote the same as Lauren Boebert), and
  • Percent Liberal (vote the same as AOC)

Here is a video taking these metrics from concept to initial numbers for my US House Rep.

Hint: It works well for Yes/No votes. I found a blind spot – when Rep. Boebert, AOC and my representative all vote differently. What are your thoughts’?
