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.
SMITH. Smith is commonly viewed as a centrist, defense-hawk Democrat (he was the ranking member on Armed Services). GGUM places him well toward the chamber’s progressive range.
HURD. Hurd is commonly viewed as one of the House GOP’s most centrist, cross-party-friendly members. GGUM places him solidly within the mainstream-conservative range.
