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.
COOPER. Jim Cooper is commonly viewed as a longtime Blue Dog Democrat, frequently cited as among the most conservative House Democrats of his era. GGUM places him solidly within the progressive range of the chamber.
TORRES. Torres has publicly distinguished himself from the chamber’s Squad/AOC wing as a pragmatic, more centrist progressive. GGUM places him near the extreme-left end of the chamber.
