Freedom Index 119-1
Our first look at the 119th Congress shows how every member of the House and Senate voted on key issues such as federal spending, men in women’s sports, USAID funding (Senate only), and sanctuary cities (House only).
The scores are derived by dividing a congressman’s constitutional votes (pluses) by the total number he cast (pluses and minuses) and multiplying by 100. The average House score for this index is 36 percent (69 percent for the Republicans and two percent for the Democrats), and the average Senate score is 42 percent (79 percent for the Republicans and one percent for the Democrats). Fourteen representatives and three senators earned 100 percent. We encourage readers to examine how their own legislators voted on each of the 10 key measures. We also encourage readers to commend legislators for their constitutional votes, and to urge improvement where needed.
