Spectrum
Centrist is the middle of the scale, not of Congress. How this works
By donors (CFscore, 2016 cycle)
Research estimate from Stanford DIME 4.0. Source
Matched by name only, so it could be the wrong person. Only 3 donors, so this is a weak read.
Method and limits
Published score 0.884 on a scale from −2.0 to 2.0, where 0 is the center. 3 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.
