Big Stick Gap
Speak softly and carry a big stick. What members say in their official press releases (Words) against how they vote (Stick). Idaho’s four first. How it works.
Words counts official press releases only. Floor statements and official social accounts are not yet coded, so a member who speaks mostly elsewhere reads lower here than they sound; each row shows how many releases were read.

Only pro claims count toward Words; every statement is listed. How claims are coded.
