Looking at a Legislator's Disagreements

1 year ago

Birds of a feather flock together. Geese do this. Starlings do this. And Democrats do this.

At GrassrootsPriorities.com, we look for when birds of a feather flock together - and we also notice when they don't.

Think of those you know. You are most closely aligned with those who share the principles and values as you.

When someone lines up against your principles and values, you know that these fundamental disagreements are critical. If you're a Republican, someone who flies in formation with the Democrats can't represent you. They disagree with you in principles and values.

It's important that we see who it is that each legislator disagrees with the most. We highlight these greatest disagreements on our website at the legislator page.

Every Democrat disagrees with Republicans the most. Every single one of the sixty-four Texas House Democrats disagree the most with Republicans.

You see it here in the disagreements matrix. Based on every record vote taken in the House during regular session, we know this is true.

What happens when we bring a Republican leader into this comparison?

It looks like this. This Republican leader was one of the House Impeachment Managers - but like every Democrat, he disagrees most with Republicans.

Birds of a feather flock together.

In fact, over twenty of our Republicans disagree most with Republicans and not Democrats.
