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.
Click and drag to zoom on a grouping. Double-click to zoom out.
Some members are omitted due to limited voting data, either due to: (a) low voting participation (Paul A. Olmsted; Allison W. Rogers; Linda A. Cochran; Jane Owen Brash); or (b) having joined too recently (Kathleen L. "Kate" Laverge; Christopher M. Langel). 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).
