How we count: For each House or Senate roll call, the party position is how most Democrats (or Republicans) voted, Yea or Nay. A member votes "with their party" when their Yea/Nay matches it. Present / not voting is not counted. Independents are not scored. Based on the 1,591 House and Senate roll calls loaded on this site, not every vote ever cast. Voting with the party is not good or bad by itself.

Federal spending where they represent

Statewide, Iowa: $34.6 billion in fiscal year 2026. Largest contracts and grants in Iowa.

This is all federal money spent in the area, decided by many agencies and laws over many years. It is not money this member controls or brought in. Source: USAspending.gov (U.S. Treasury).
