Committees

Where the real legislative work happens: every standing committee with its full roster, chair, and ranking member. Seats are split between the parties on every panel, so committees sit near the center of the political map — the interesting part is who sits on them. The groups members choose for themselves are on the caucuses page.

Every committee's average position

Each dot is a committee at the average position of its members' voting records — hover for the name, click for the roster. House committees in indigo, Senate in teal, joint in gray. Because every panel seats both parties, committees bunch near the center, tilted toward the majority. Economic axis: taxes, healthcare, labor, energy. Social axis: abortion, guns, immigration, civil rights, crime.
