Labora Collective · The Record

Every member of Congress,
on the evidence.

We grade every member of Congress on how they voted on women and families. We wrote the rules first. We decided which votes count, and how much, before we scored anyone. Open any card to see every vote and the official record behind it.

This is still being built. If a member has too few votes on our list, we show them as not graded yet. We never give a bad grade just to fill a gap.

What the grade measures

Not whether someone is liberal or conservative. Not how hard they work, or whether we like them. Just one question: when a recorded vote touched one of these subjects, how did they vote?

  • Reproductive & maternal
  • Children & family
  • Health access & coverage
  • Equity & rights
  • Judicial & structural
  • Violence & safety
  • Immigration & access to care
  • Data & science integrity

A vote that protects women and families counts up. A vote that takes protection away counts down. Some subjects count more than others, and we publish how much. The result is a score from 0 to 100, then a letter.

  • A80–100
  • B65–79
  • C50–64
  • D35–49
  • F0–34

It is not a curve. We set these cutoffs before we scored anyone, so the grades fall wherever the votes put them. Every vote behind every letter is on the member’s card, with a link to the official record. Check it.

The board

To get a grade, a member needs votes in at least 5 of our 8 subjects. With fewer, we show the record as too thin to grade. Most of these members are new and have not yet faced the votes on our list.

Every card is open to everyone. All 539 members, every vote we scored, and a link to the official record for each one. No signup, nothing held back.

What the letter means

A score from 0 to 100, then a letter. It is not a curve: the cutoffs are fixed, and the grades fall wherever the votes put them.

  • A 80–100 178
  • B 65–79 33
  • C 50–64 8
  • D 35–49 29
  • F 0–34 189

The eight subjects, and what each is worth

  • Reproductive & maternal 24
  • Children & family 20
  • Health access & coverage 16
  • Equity & rights 11
  • Judicial & structural 10
  • Violence & safety 9
  • Immigration & access to care 6
  • Data & science integrity 4

Every dimension has at least one scored vote behind it.

Read this before you read the grades

So far, the votes split almost exactly by party. No Republican scored above 61. No Democrat scored below 63. The two groups do not overlap.

That is what the votes show, not something we built in. We wrote the rules before we scored anyone, and every vote is on the card with a link to the official record. Check it.

Our votes run from 2013 to 2026, and 28% come from 2021–22. That is our to-do list, not our judgement. It is the order we happened to add bills, not a claim that those years matter more. It is also why new members show so little: we have not yet added the votes they took part in.

Go deeper than the board

The board is free and always will be. Labora Collective members get the deep dives on top of it — what a bill actually does, what changed between versions, who moved and when — plus the working notes: which bill we are adding next, what got rejected and why, and the decision record behind every scoring call.
