The 50 members with the most contested Political representation votes, of 524 who have cast one and 0 with enough to score. A further 10 voted in the area but never on a contested question. Blue bars sided with the Democratic majority more often than not; red bars with the Republican majority. A dash is too few contested votes to score, never a zero.

How areas work

1Each bill's area comes from the Library of Congress subject terms.
2Only contested votes count, as everywhere else.
3A member with too few votes in an area is listed with the count, not hidden — "too few to score" and "no contested votes" are different claims.
