What They Care About

How this is measured

Bubble size = how much of Scott H. Peters's sponsored bills, cosponsorships, campaign statements and tweets go to each domain. Votes are left out because they follow committee seats; domains a member's committees handle are discounted a little. Anything from the last 6 months counts double, so a topic they are on about right now grows. Darker = they have broken with their own party more often on that topic: the share of party-line votes since 2009 where they voted against their party's majority (gray = fewer than 8 such votes). Based on 17 sponsored, 323 cosponsored, 144 statements, 440 topical tweets. Click a bubble to open what they support and the bills and tweets behind it; click it again to close.

The campaign · in their words

“Less noise. More ACTION.”

More homes. Fewer people on the street ↗“This year, Scott co-led a bipartisan law that scraps a 50-year-old rule holding back affordable homebuilding.”Care you can afford. Help when you need it ↗“Scott's plan laid the groundwork for Medicare drug-price negotiation, $35 insulin and a cap on what seniors pay for medicine.”Stop the sewage. Open the beaches ↗“Scott and San Diego's delegation in Congress went after the money to fix it, and got it: $650 million, enough to fully repair and expand the South Bay plant that treats the sewage on our side of the border.”
