Centrist is the middle of the scale, not of Congress. How this works

By donors (CFscore, 2022 cycle)

Research estimate from Stanford DIME 4.0. Source

Matched by name only, so it could be the wrong person.

Method and limits

Published score −0.923 on a scale from −2.0 to 2.0, where 0 is the center. 636 donors. License: ODC-BY 1.0.

Places a candidate by who gave them money; candidates who share donors sit close together.

Reflects the donor network, not votes or views, and comes from past cycles, not a 2026 reading.

Races in our results files. Other offices, earlier years and most primaries can be missing. A general that went to a runoff counts as neither a win nor a loss. Some races are matched to this person by name and seat, not by an ID, so one could belong to someone with the same name.
