THE WORKING-CLASS SCORE
HOW THE SCORE WORKS
The Working-Class Score shows how often a member of Congress voted for the side that helps working people.
A score of 75 means they voted with working people 75% of the time. Higher score means more votes for working people. Lower score means fewer.
WHAT COUNTS AS A WORKING-CLASS VOTE?
We do not score every vote in Congress.
We score votes that can actually change the law and have a real effect on working people, their families, or their cost of living.
For each vote, we ask a simple question: Who does this help, and who does it hurt?
WHO DECIDES?
We do.
But we use the same rules for every vote and every politician. We decide what counts before we calculate anyone's score.
And we show you every scored vote so you can decide whether you agree.
THE VOTES COME FIRST. THE SCORES COME LAST.
First, we decide which votes count and what the working-class position is.
Then we look at how every member of Congress voted and calculate the scores.
We do not start with a politician and work backward to get the score we want.
DON'T TAKE OUR WORD FOR IT.
You can see every vote we scored, how each member voted, and the government record behind it.
Check our work. See the votes. Decide for yourself.

See the score for every current member of Congress and check the votes behind it. The House and Senate vote on different bills, so their scores are calculated separately.
