Leaderboards
Congress ranked on things that can be counted from the record — not on anyone's judgement of who is doing a good job. Every figure here shows what it's out of, and every name links to the votes behind it.
Lowest Face Value: bills that reach furthest past their name
Face Value starts every bill at 100 and takes points off for each title of the US Code it amends beyond the first, and for its length. Counted from the bill's own published text.

Bills of at least 25 sections whose text has been read. Breadth in a short bill is incidental; in a long one it is the point. The formula, in full. Face Value measures how far a bill reaches, not whether anyone was trying to mislead you — omnibus in all but name is a description of a document, not of its sponsor.
Voted against a bill they cosponsored
Putting your name on a bill is a dated, official act. This counts the times a member did that and then voted the other way on the floor.

Only commitments where the bill actually reached a decisive vote. Bills change between cosponsorship and passage, which is sometimes the honest reason.
Missed the most votes
Share of roll calls where a member was recorded as not voting. The denominator is their own roll calls, so someone sworn in mid-term isn't penalized for votes held before they arrived.

At least 100 recorded roll calls. A count, not a character judgement — illness, funerals and campaigns all show up here.
Voted against their own party most
Share of votes where a member broke with the majority of their own caucus. Their own vote is excluded from that majority before the comparison.

Adam GrayD-CA-13107 of 602 votes17.8%
At least 100 votes where their caucus wasn't already tied. Not a measure of principle — a safe seat makes this cheap and a marginal one makes it necessary.
Most money from outside their state
Share of itemised individual giving that came from donors in another state — people who can't vote for them.

Covers the 483 members whose filings are loaded. Members with at least $100k from individuals. State, not district: ZIP codes straddle districts, so this is a floor for House members.
Most small-dollar funded
Share of individual giving that came in amounts under $200 — small enough that the FEC never asks who gave it.

Most maximum-sized contributions
Contributions at or above one full election maximum. A campaign funded by a thousand of these has a different base from one funded by ten.

One named PAC, not an industry. Grouping companies into industries means inventing a taxonomy, and getting it wrong would be a confident claim about a real person.
How to read these
These are counts, not judgements. Missing votes can mean a member was campaigning, or it can mean they were having chemotherapy. Breaking with your party can be courage or it can be a safe seat. The number says what happened. It doesn't say why.
Ties share a place. Four members on three broken commitments are all fourth. Calling them fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh would invent an order the data doesn't contain.
Thin records are left out rather than ranked. Nine roll calls or two thousand dollars raised is enough to top a percentage table by accident. Each board says what it excluded and why.
There's no board for agreeing with VoteWire users. It would look like a measure of Congress and would really be a measure of who signed up here — a small, self-selected group. It gets built when the sample can carry it.
