Winning side rates, 2007-2025

How often does each Utah legislator vote on the winning side?

Suppose that every time a particular legislator votes "aye" on a bill it passes, and every time he votes "nay" on a bill it fails. That legislator would have a 100% winning side rate. This isn't the most useful metric, of course. Maybe it indicates a legislator so influential that others follow his or her lead; maybe it indicates a legislator so passive that he or she just follows the crowd. Context is everything. But, for what it's worth, here you go. To make it interesting, I only consider contested votes—that is, votes where no more than 80% of legislators were on the winning side.

Republican scores are in red, Democratic scores are in blue.
