0.8% of individual money in the 2026 cycle came in gifts of $200 or less; the median for House Republicans is 9.4%. Ranks 201st of 220, where 1st is the highest share. $1.5M raised in all.
Campaigns report every donor who gives more than $200 by name and smaller gifts only as one total; this is that small-gift total as a share of all money from individuals, from the FEC’s committee summaries, ranked among House Republicans. It understates small giving when a campaign itemizes gifts made through ActBlue or WinRed.
6 measures against House Republicans. 21% of Carter’s itemized money in the 2026 cycle came from Texas, in the bottom tenth of House Republicans. 8.0% of Carter’s statements criticize a policy, in the bottom quarter of House Republicans (average 15%).

Peer group: House Republicans. Rank 1 is the highest value in the group; the thick bar is Carter, the thin grey bar the peer average. The headline is the measure on which Carter is most unusual among peers (Methods, §08).
Carter attacks opponents personally about as often as the median House Republican. Personal attacks in 0.7% of 275 statements, against 2.1% for the average House Republican; 133rd of 221.
An AI model reads each of Carter’s 275 statements in the 119th Congress (128 posts on X, 96 Congressional Record speeches, 29 press releases, 22 newsletters) 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 House Republicans and ranked among them.

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 119th Congress, 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%. 10 months are hatched here.

Newest first, the 119th Congress
Five statements at a time, newest first; filters apply to the statements loaded so far. Export saves the statements that match. Sources: 128 posts on X, 96 Congressional Record speeches, 29 press releases, 22 newsletters.
Armed Forces and National Security is what Carter talks about most: 64% of policy statements, 2.6 times the peer share. Talk and legislation agree at 0.63 on a 0–1 scale (House Republicans average 0.64; 147th of 221).
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 Carter talks about. The bills Carter sponsors and cosponsors carry the same areas, so the two can be compared.
Share of policy statements by area, the 119th Congress
| Row | Carter | Peers |
|---|---|---|
| Armed Forces and National Security | 64% | 24% |
| Health | 22% | 15% |
| Education | 20% | 8% |
| Economics and Public Finance | 19% | 19% |
| Government Operations and Politics | 19% | 19% |
The thick bar is the share of Carter’s policy statements in an area; the thin grey bar is the average share for House Republicans. 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 70%. Grey ticks are the House Republicans averages.

talk-to-bills agreement, 0 to 1
House Republicans average 0.64. Ranks 147th of 221.
Agreement is 1 minus the distance between the two distributions (Jensen–Shannon): 1 means Carter legislates on exactly the areas Carter 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 Carter sponsored count fully, cosponsored bills a quarter. Shown with at least 20 policy statements and 5 bills.
Carter sits at +0.96 on the CSIP scale, right of 0, more liberal than 58% of House Republicans. Approximate range +0.94 to +0.97, which understates the uncertainty; from 1,730 donors and 7,102 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 +0.94 to +0.97. From 1,730 donors and 7,102 roll calls. Run 2026-10-25T215945. Blue is left of 0, red right of 0.
The outlined dot is Carter, 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 Carter’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 Carter |
|---|---|---|---|
| House Republicans | 221 | +1.0 | 42% |
| All House | 439 | +0.3 | 71% |
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 Carter 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 Carter.
Carter raised $1.5M in the 2026 cycle, below the House Republicans’ median of $2.2M. 0.8% of individual money came in gifts of $200 or less. 21% of itemized individual money came from Texas.
Campaign money from Federal Election Commission 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.

From 230 itemized donors. House Republicans’ median $2.2M.
Each square is one percent of 2026-cycle receipts, from FEC summary totals.
| Source | Amount | Share |
|---|---|---|
| Itemized individual (over $200) | $424.5K | 27.9% |
| Unitemized individual (gifts of $200 or less) | $3,316 | 0.2% |
| PACs and other committees | $564.6K | 37.1% |
| Remainder not broken out in the FEC summary (transfers, loans, refunds) | $529.8K | 34.8% |
Totals say how much a campaign took in, not how it was spent, and they rise sharply when a seat is up for election; compare cycles with that in mind. The small-donor share understates small giving when a campaign itemizes gifts made through ActBlue or WinRed.

Carter voted with the majority of House Republicans on 97.8% of party-line votes and missed 1.9% of 674 roll calls. House Republicans on average: 97.1% party unity, 96.3% attendance. Across all roll calls, Carter voted against the majority of House Republicans 13 times.
674 roll calls Carter could vote on in the 119th Congress, compared with House Republicans. 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 Carter voted with the majority of House Republicans. The count of votes against that majority covers every roll call where the majority took a side.
votes against the majority of House Republicans
Party unity 97.8%, House Republicans average 97.1%, ranks 125th of 221. 674 roll calls in the 119th Congress.
The thick bar is Carter, the thin grey bar the House Republicans average. The scale runs from 80% to 100% to show the gap.
| Row | Carter | Peers |
|---|---|---|
| Attendance | 98.0% | 96.3% |
| Party unity | 97.8% | 97.1% |
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.

119th Congress (2025–27), loads in batches
Carter sponsored 4 bills in the 119th Congress; none became law. Cosponsored 109 others.
The bills Carter sponsored and cosponsored in the 119th Congress, 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.
Counts for the 119th Congress

Ink blocks are bills Carter sponsored, ochre blocks bills Carter cosponsored; the figure above each block is the count. Most bills in any legislature never leave committee, so a short staircase is the norm.
No effectiveness score.Too few sponsored bills to score (at least 5 are needed).
Colleagues who most often cosponsor with Carter, by number of shared bills in the 119th Congress; 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 Carter’s bills; the toggle shows more.

A site that changed 39 times in 90 days. Carter’s official site had 39 pages when last crawled on Oct 25, 2026. The lab last catalogued the images Carter posted on Sep 11, 2026.
The lab crawls Carter’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 Carter 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.

The headline is the measure on which Carter is most unusual among House Republicans, 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 …”).
