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 NY 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%. 6 months are hatched here.

Economics and Public Finance is what Canzoneri-Fitzpatrick talks about most: 18% of policy statements, above the peer share. Talk and legislation agree at 0.60 on a 0–1 scale (State Senate Republicans average 0.52; 66th of 226).
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 Canzoneri-Fitzpatrick talks about. The bills Canzoneri-Fitzpatrick sponsors and cosponsors carry the same areas, so the two can be compared.

The thick bar is the share of Canzoneri-Fitzpatrick’s policy statements in an area; the thin grey bar is the average share for State Senate 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.

talk-to-bills agreement, 0 to 1
State Senate Republicans average 0.52. Ranks 66th of 226.
Agreement is 1 minus the distance between the two distributions (Jensen–Shannon): 1 means Canzoneri-Fitzpatrick legislates on exactly the areas Canzoneri-Fitzpatrick 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 Canzoneri-Fitzpatrick sponsored count fully, cosponsored bills a quarter. Shown with at least 20 policy statements and 5 bills.
Canzoneri-Fitzpatrick sits at +0.30 on the CSIP scale, right of 0, more liberal than 60% of State Senate Republicans. Approximate range +0.27 to +0.33, which understates the uncertainty; from 920 donors and 576 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 +0.27 to +0.33. From 920 donors and 576 roll calls. Run 2026-10-25T215945. Blue is left of 0, red right of 0.
The outlined dot is Canzoneri-Fitzpatrick, 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 Canzoneri-Fitzpatrick’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 Canzoneri-Fitzpatrick |
|---|---|---|---|
| State Senate Republicans | 1083 | +0.4 | 40% |
| New York Senate | 62 | −0.5 | 76% |
| All State Senate | 1909 | +0.1 | 66% |
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 Canzoneri-Fitzpatrick 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 Canzoneri-Fitzpatrick.
Canzoneri-Fitzpatrick reported $93.8K in the 2026 cycle, 2.0 times the State Senate Republicans’ median of $46.2K. State filings report no small-donation total. 98% of itemized individual money came from New York.
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.

Canzoneri-Fitzpatrick voted with the majority of New York Senate Republicans on 86% of party-line votes and missed 5.7% of 3,522 roll calls. New York Senate on average: 93.2% party unity, 94.5% attendance. Across all roll calls, Canzoneri-Fitzpatrick voted against the majority of New York Senate Republicans 317 times.
3,522 roll calls Canzoneri-Fitzpatrick could vote on in the NY 2025–26 session, compared with New York 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 Canzoneri-Fitzpatrick voted with the majority of New York Senate Republicans. The count of votes against that majority covers every roll call where the majority took a side.
votes against the majority of New York Senate Republicans
Party unity 86%, New York Senate average 93.2%, ranks 52nd of 62. 3,522 roll calls in the NY 2025–26 session.
The thick bar is Canzoneri-Fitzpatrick, the thin grey bar the New York Senate average. The scale runs from 80% to 100% to show the gap.

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.

A site that changed 1 time in 90 days. Canzoneri-Fitzpatrick’s official site had 1 page when last crawled on Oct 1, 2026.
The lab crawls Canzoneri-Fitzpatrick’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 Canzoneri-Fitzpatrick posts with a vision model.

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 Canzoneri-Fitzpatrick is most unusual among State Senate 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 …”).
