Attendance 85%; the average within the Florida Senate is 95.0%. Ranks 37th of 39, where 1st has the highest attendance. 909 roll calls in the FL 2025–26 session.
Attendance is the share of the roll calls Davis could vote on where a yea, nay or present was recorded, ranked within the Florida Senate. A missed vote has many causes, from illness to campaigning; the number says how often, not why.
6 measures against State Senate Democrats. 22% of the 58 bills Davis sponsored got out of committee, in the bottom tenth of the Florida Senate. 100% of Davis’s itemized money in the 2026 cycle came from Florida, in the top quarter of State Senate Democrats.
The measures on which Davis sits furthest from the middle of State Senate Democrats, each against the same group, with the CSIP score when there is one. Every number is explained in its own section below.

Peer group: State Senate Democrats. Rank 1 is the highest value in the group; the thick bar is Davis, the thin grey bar the peer average. The headline is the measure on which Davis is most unusual among peers (Methods, §08).
Davis attacks opponents personally less than 75% of State Senate Democrats. Personal attacks in 0% of 85 statements, against 2.4% for the average State Senate Democrat; 248th of 329.
An AI model reads each of Davis’s 85 statements in the FL 2025–26 session (85 posts on X) and marks the kinds of statement it contains: a personal attack, criticism of a policy, discussion of policy, bipartisanship, credit claiming, and extreme labels. A statement can carry several. Every rate is compared with the average for State Senate Democrats and ranked among them.
Share of statements carrying each label, the FL 2025–26 session

| Policy discussion | 48% | 43% |
| Credit claiming | 11% | 16% |
| Policy criticism | 6% | 10% |

The thick bar is Davis; the thin grey bar is the average State Senate Democrats. A longer thick bar means Davis does this more than peers. Rank 1 is the highest rate in the group.
Davis used no extreme labels in 85 statements. The peer average is 0.8%.
No extreme labels in this window.
Targets named alongside an extreme label, by number of statements
No targets recorded.
Calls a politician, a party or a policy “far left”, “far right”, “MAGA”, “extreme”, “radical”, “woke”, “fascist” or “communist”. The target is who or what the label was aimed at. The lists show the five most used labels and targets; the toggle shows the rest.
Share of statements per month, the FL 2025–26 session
No month in this window has 10 or more statements, too few to chart month by month.
Each row is one kind of statement; each cell is a month, shaded against that row’s own peak (darker = closer to the peak), with the peak and the latest value written at the right. The top row counts statements. The strip covers every month of the FL 2025–26 session, the same span as the rates above, including months with no statements. A month with fewer than 10 statements is hatched, not shaded: one or two posts would swing its rate to 0% or 100%. 22 months are hatched here.

Health is what Davis talks about most: 37% of policy statements, 2.1 times the peer share. Talk and legislation agree at 0.55 on a 0–1 scale (State Senate Democrats average 0.56; 130th of 228).
Each policy statement is tagged by the AI model with one or more of 25 policy areas from the Congressional Research Service list, so the shares say what Davis talks about. The bills Davis sponsors and cosponsors carry the same areas, so the two can be compared.

The thick bar is the share of Davis’s policy statements in an area; the thin grey bar is the average share for State Senate Democrats. A statement counts once in each of its areas, so shares can add to more than 100%. The five largest areas are shown; the toggle shows the rest.
Left: share of statements by policy area. Right: share of bills. Areas in order of their share of statements; both sides run from 0 to 40%. Grey ticks are the State Senate Democrats averages.

talk-to-bills agreement, 0 to 1
State Senate Democrats average 0.56. Ranks 130th of 228.
Agreement is 1 minus the distance between the two distributions (Jensen–Shannon): 1 means Davis legislates on exactly the areas Davis talks about, in the same proportions; 0 means no overlap. It does not say whether the bills match the positions in the statements, only the subjects. Bills Davis sponsored count fully, cosponsored bills a quarter. Shown with at least 20 policy statements and 5 bills.
Davis sits at −0.39 on the CSIP scale, left of 0, more conservative than 84% of State Senate Democrats. Approximate range −0.43 to −0.35, which understates the uncertainty; from 361 donors and 364 roll calls.
CSIP, the lab’s Common-Space Ideal Point, places every official, federal and state, on one left–right scale, estimated from roll-call votes, who gives money to whom, and the text of statements. Negative is left of 0, positive right of it; 0 is the centre of the scale, not a definition of “moderate”.
CSIP ideal point
Approximate range −0.43 to −0.35. From 361 donors and 364 roll calls. Run 2026-10-25T215945. Blue is left of 0, red right of 0.
The outlined dot is Davis, coloured by its side of 0 (blue left, red right, deeper further out); the bar through it is the approximate range (±1.96 standard errors), which understates the uncertainty; the grey ticks below are the medians of Davis’s groups. 0 is the centre of the scale, not “moderate” by definition.
The score summarises how an official votes, who funds them and how they talk, relative to everyone else. It does not grade positions as good or bad, and two officials with the same score can differ on any single issue. The ± range is 1.96 standard errors, which understates the uncertainty: scores whose ranges overlap may not differ at all, and even scores whose ranges do not overlap may not differ.
Every official in each group, on the CSIP scale
| Group | Officials | Median | Share left of Davis |
|---|---|---|---|
| State Senate Democrats | 825 | −0.7 | 84% |
| Florida Senate | 39 | +0.4 | 10% |
| All State Senate | 1909 | +0.1 | 37% |
Every small dot is one official on the same scale, coloured by its own score (blue left of 0, red right of 0, grey at 0, deeper further out) and spread up and down only to keep dots apart; where a group is crowded the dots overlap, and darker patches mean more officials. The large outlined dot is Davis in every row; the rule is each group’s median. The table under the figure gives the share of each group to the left of Davis.
Davis reported $10.7K in the 2026 cycle, 19% of the State Senate Democrats’ median of $55.5K. State filings report no small-donation total. 100% of itemized individual money came from Florida.
Campaign money from state campaign-finance filings, as aggregates only; the lab never shows an individual donor. Campaigns must report by name every person who gives them more than $200 in a cycle (“itemized”); smaller gifts are reported only as one total (“unitemized”), so donor counts, donor states, employers and occupations describe itemized donors only. State filings report no small-gift total, so these figures add up itemized contributions only.

Davis voted with the majority of Florida Senate Democrats on 96.0% of party-line votes and missed 15% of 909 roll calls. Florida Senate on average: 90% party unity, 95.0% attendance. Across all roll calls, Davis voted against the majority of Florida Senate Democrats 28 times.
909 roll calls Davis could vote on in the FL 2025–26 session, compared with Florida Senate. Attendance is the share with a vote recorded. Party unity counts only party-line roll calls, where most Democrats and most Republicans voted on opposite sides, and is the share of those where Davis voted with the majority of Florida Senate Democrats. The count of votes against that majority covers every roll call where the majority took a side.
votes against the majority of Florida Senate Democrats
Party unity 96.0%, Florida Senate average 90%, ranks 19th of 39. 909 roll calls in the FL 2025–26 session.
The thick bar is Davis, the thin grey bar the Florida Senate average. The scale runs from 80% to 100% to show the gap.
| Row | Davis | Peers |
|---|---|---|
| Attendance | 85% | 95.0% |
| Party unity | 96.0% | 90% |
A missed roll call has many causes, from illness to campaigning, so attendance says how often, not why. A vote against the majority can be on procedure as well as substance, and many fall on roll calls where both parties split; the key votes below show the ones that decided something.

The colleagues who voted the same way as Davis least often
The share of roll calls both members voted on where they voted the same way, among colleagues sharing at least 50 such votes. High agreement with members of the other party is common on routine votes.
FL 2025–26 session, loads in batches
Davis sponsored 58 bills in the FL 2025–26 session; 2 became law. Cosponsored 41 others. 22% of sponsored bills got out of committee (Florida Senate average 51%; 34th of 36).
The bills Davis sponsored and cosponsored in the FL 2025–26 session, from the official bill records, and how far each got: introduced, referred to or acted on in committee, passed one chamber, passed both, became law. A bill counts at every stage it has reached, so the blocks only shrink to the right.

Colleagues who most often cosponsor with Davis, by number of shared bills in the FL 2025–26 session; the square shows their party.
The score is the share of sponsored bills that a committee reported out or a chamber passed, with at least 5 sponsored bills, ranked within the peer group. Members of the majority party and committee chairs move more bills, so the rank reflects position in the chamber as well as effort. Cosponsorship partners are the five colleagues who share the most of Davis’s bills; the toggle shows more.

A site that changed 2 times in 90 days. Davis’s official site had 1 page when last crawled on Oct 1, 2026.
The lab crawls Davis’s official and campaign websites (weekly for Congress, monthly for the states) and keeps every page’s text, so changes can be read later; it also records social accounts and describes the images Davis posts with a vision model.

“Pages crawled” is the size of the site at the last crawl; “changes in 90 days” counts pages whose text differed from the previous crawl. Sites change for many routine reasons, such as new press releases, so a high count is not by itself notable.
No images from Davis’s posts have been described.

Transcribed from chamber video or captions by the lab. They are not classified for kinds of statement.
How this page was made. Profile built Oct 28, 2026; site last built Oct 28, 2026. Every number on the page is computed from the sources listed here, by the same rules for every official; nothing is written by hand.
The headline is the measure on which Davis is most unusual among State Senate Democrats, chosen by one rule for every official of every party. The candidates are the rate of each kind of statement and of extreme labels, party unity, attendance, the small-donor share, the in-state share and total receipts of the latest cycle, the share of sponsored bills that got out of committee, talk-to-bills agreement, and the CSIP score’s place within the party group.
The builder ranks every measure within the same peer group the page compares it with, and writes each official’s percentile: the share of the group below the value, ties counting half, so 0.5 is the median and a value shared by many never ranks first. A measure’s score is how far that percentile sits from the median (0 in the middle, 0.5 at either end), and the highest score leads if it is above 0.25, outside the middle half of the group. Scores within 0.03 of each other are a tie, broken in this order: votes against the party majority, kinds of statement, ideology, roll calls missed, small donations, in-state money, legislation, agreement, extreme labels, receipts.
A measure counts only with at least 200 statements, 100 roll calls or 5 sponsored bills behind it and a peer group of at least 10. Two things never lead: high party unity or attendance, where most members sit, and a high rate of a kind of statement backed by fewer than 10 statements. When nothing qualifies, the headline is a neutral fact instead: statements classified, or years in office. The wording always names the direction (“in the bottom 5% of …”, “votes against the majority of …”).
