Placements worth a second look
GGUM’s placement of the following members differs from what their established political reputations might lead a reader to expect. We draw attention to these cases so that researchers can consider them before using the estimates for a particular analysis; we are not alleging error.
- SIKORSKI. Sikorski is commonly viewed as a mainstream Minnesota liberal. GGUM places him at the extreme-left pole, left of Bernie Sanders in this chamber.
