Agreement 0.67 on a 0–1 scale; the average for State House Democrats is 0.54. Ranks 62nd of 503, where 1st is the closest match.
How closely the mix of policy areas in LeBoeuf’s statements matches the mix in the bills LeBoeuf sponsors and cosponsors: 1 means the same areas in the same proportions, 0 means no overlap. Ranked among State House Democrats.
6 measures against State House Democrats. 58% of LeBoeuf’s statements discuss policy, in the top quarter of State House Democrats (average 39%). 23% of LeBoeuf’s statements claim credit, 1.6 times the State House Democrat average of 14%.

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 MA 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%. 9 months are hatched here; 2 of them have no statements.

Health is what LeBoeuf talks about most: 21% of policy statements, above the peer share. Talk and legislation agree at 0.67 on a 0–1 scale (State House Democrats average 0.54; 62nd of 503).
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 LeBoeuf talks about. The bills LeBoeuf sponsors and cosponsors carry the same areas, so the two can be compared.

The thick bar is the share of LeBoeuf’s policy statements in an area; the thin grey bar is the average share for State House 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.

talk-to-bills agreement, 0 to 1
State House Democrats average 0.54. Ranks 62nd of 503.
Agreement is 1 minus the distance between the two distributions (Jensen–Shannon): 1 means LeBoeuf legislates on exactly the areas LeBoeuf 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 LeBoeuf sponsored count fully, cosponsored bills a quarter. Shown with at least 20 policy statements and 5 bills.
LeBoeuf sits at −0.56 on the CSIP scale, left of 0, more conservative than 61% of State House Democrats. Approximate range −0.61 to −0.50, which understates the uncertainty; from 328 donors and 133 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 −0.61 to −0.50. From 328 donors and 133 roll calls. Run 2026-10-25T215945. Blue is left of 0, red right of 0.
The outlined dot is LeBoeuf, 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 LeBoeuf’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 LeBoeuf |
|---|---|---|---|
| State House Democrats | 2392 | −0.6 | 60% |
| Massachusetts House | 157 | −0.6 | 54% |
| All State House | 5324 | +0.1 | 27% |
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 LeBoeuf 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 LeBoeuf.
LeBoeuf reported $24.1K in the 2026 cycle, below the State House Democrats’ median of $40.4K. State filings report no small-donation total. 93% of itemized individual money came from Massachusetts.
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.

LeBoeuf voted with the majority of Massachusetts House Democrats on 100% of party-line votes and missed none of 234 roll calls. Massachusetts House on average: 98.5% party unity, 97.4% attendance. Across all roll calls, LeBoeuf never voted against the majority of Massachusetts House Democrats.
234 roll calls LeBoeuf could vote on in the MA 2025–26 session, compared with Massachusetts House. 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 LeBoeuf voted with the majority of Massachusetts House Democrats. The count of votes against that majority covers every roll call where the majority took a side.
votes against the majority of Massachusetts House Democrats
Party unity 100%, Massachusetts House average 98.5%, ranks 58th of 156. 234 roll calls in the MA 2025–26 session.
The thick bar is LeBoeuf, the thin grey bar the Massachusetts House average. The scale runs from 80% to 100% to show the gap.

| Attendance | 100% | 97.4% |
| Party unity | 100% | 98.5% |
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.

MA 2025–26 session, loads in batches
LeBoeuf sponsored 40 bills in the MA 2025–26 session; 1 became law. Cosponsored 261 others. 2.5% of sponsored bills got out of committee (Massachusetts House average 4.0%; 64th of 147).
The bills LeBoeuf sponsored and cosponsored in the MA 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.

A site that changed 1 time in 90 days. LeBoeuf’s official site had 1 page when last crawled on Oct 1, 2026.
The lab crawls LeBoeuf’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 LeBoeuf 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 LeBoeuf’s posts have been described.

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 LeBoeuf is most unusual among State House 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 …”).
