Utah context — not this member’s grade

House members represent a district, not the whole state, so state numbers aren’t their grade. District-level scoring is in development. The state’s governor, Spencer Cox, holds the scored executive record.

Scored on their own record; district outcome scoring is in development. Methodology v2.2

Federal spending during Kennedy’s current term

Total U.S. federal outlays for each fiscal year of Kennedy’s current term. This is the whole federal budget — mostly Social Security, Medicare, defense, interest on the debt, and prior commitments — not money Kennedy personally directed. A president proposes and Congress appropriates; no single official controls it.

How Kennedy is graded

A representative serves a district, not a state, and no honest district-level outcome trend exists yet — redistricting redrew the lines and leaves too few data points. So Kennedy is graded on what they control: how effectively they move legislation and how they vote. The state’s numbers are shown as context on the card, never folded into the grade, until district-level scoring ships.

Legislative Effectiveness Scores come from the Center for Effective Lawmaking, which benchmarks each chamber’s average to 1.0. Voting statistics come from GovTrack. The Honesty ledger — promises matched against this member’s votes — publishes only with an evidence trail and two agreeing human reviews.
