How this is measured

Bubble size = how much of Hillary J. Scholten'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 12 sponsored, 270 cosponsored, 41 statements, 540 topical tweets. Click a bubble to open what they support and the bills and tweets behind it; click it again to close.

Healthcare ↗“In Congress, I am hard at work to find common-sense solutions to bring down the costs of healthcare and lower the cost of prescription drugs.”Reproductive Health ↗“That's why I fundamentally believe that the choice of when and how to become a mother, or how to handle a complicated or life-threatening pregnancy belongs with women themselves, and not detached politicians.”Jobs and the Economy ↗“We can - and we must - continue fighting to create well-paying jobs with good benefits in West Michigan.”
