Party Independence Tracker
Who votes their conscience — and who follows the party whip? Ranked by how often each member breaks from their own party on key votes. Higher score = more independent.
Most Independent Members
These members break with their own party most frequently on key votes.
Most Party-Line Members
These members vote with their party 100% of the time on tracked key votes — zero independent breaks recorded.
📊 How Independence Score is Calculated
Independence Score = 100% − Party Loyalty %. Party loyalty measures what percentage of tracked key votes a member voted in line with their party's majority position. Only members with at least 10 tracked key votes are included. Data sourced from Voteview and Congress.gov for the 119th Congress.
Note: Independence is not inherently good or bad — a member may break with their party to vote more conservatively or more progressively. View individual profiles to understand the substance of each break.
