Spectrum
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. Only 8 donors, so this is a weak read.
Method and limits
Published score −0.055 on a scale from −2.0 to 2.0, where 0 is the center. 8 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.
