At a Glance
The graph below highlights groups of members within a district who tend to vote similarly on measures. Members are represented by circles, the color of which indicates their grouping. A line connects two members if they vote the same at least half of the time.

Some members are omitted due to limited voting data, either due to: (a) low voting participation (Hector E. Arzeno; M. Irene Dietrich; Samuelle "Sammie" Terese Lazar Jacobs; Andrew Oliver II; James J. Capparelle; Sophia Scarpelli; Elizabeth "Liz" Dyer Tommasino); or (b) having joined too recently (Jonathan M. Perloe). See notes below.
Analysis considers the voting history of the current term and only includes current members who voted on at least two-thirds of all measures considered by the RTM in that time period. Measures which were unanimous within a district are excluded (e.g., procedural measures like the consent calendar are often unanimous - which would skew the analysis - and are therefore omitted).
