About These Scores

These scores are calculated using publicly available data from Congress.gov, official voting records, ethics reports, and federal spending databases. All metrics are objective and verifiable.

The LPI scoring system does not evaluate the ideological content of legislation or votes. A liberal and a conservative can both score highly if they are productive, collaborative, ethical, and effective at serving their constituents.
