How Often Do Legislators Vote With Their Party?

Party members usually stick together, but with legislators voting on more than 1,000 bills this session, there is always some disagreement. See which issues garnered the most intra-party disagreement or choose a single legislator to see how frequently they voted with their caucus.

Note on VPAP's Party Unity Score: The chart below measures how often caucus members vote with the majority of their party on floor votes where at least two-thirds of the caucus took the same position, but the vote was not unanimous for the caucus. Excludes issues with fewer than five bills meeting this criteria. The party unity score should not be interpreted as a partisan litmus test. A nuanced reading of the bills involved is needed to reach any conclusions.
