How does the Build the Promise vote tracker score members of Congress?

Each member of Congress is scored on a -100 to +100 scale based on their votes on key issues aligned with Project 2029 values: healthcare, workers rights, corporate accountability, climate, democracy, and more. A score of +100 means they voted with working Americans on every tracked vote. A score of -100 means they voted against working Americans on every tracked vote. Scores are then adjusted for campaign finance flags (-5 to -20 per donor category) and Epstein accountability flags.

What are the campaign finance flags on the vote tracker?

The tracker flags six categories of special interest money that correlate with votes against working Americans: AIPAC (pro-Israel lobby), fossil fuel industry, pharmaceutical industry, Wall Street and major banks, defense contractors, and private prison companies. Flags are applied when FEC filings show contributions from those categories exceeding reporting thresholds. Each flag reduces the overall alignment score.

What is the Epstein accountability flag on the vote tracker?

The tracker applies three accountability flags: EPSTEIN FILE (-20 score penalty) for officials named in publicly released federal court documents from the Epstein/Maxwell case; PEDOPHILE PROTECTOR (-15 penalty) for officials who voted against Epstein transparency legislation; and BURIED ABUSE FILES (-15 penalty) for House members who voted on March 4, 2026 to bury H.Res. 1100, which would have required public release of congressional sexual harassment records.

Does the vote tracker only cover Democrats?

No. The tracker covers every member of Congress - Senate and House - regardless of party. Build the Promise is not affiliated with any party. Republicans who vote for working Americans receive high scores. Democrats who vote for their donors receive low scores. The tracker also highlights champions of any party who consistently vote for working people.

How We Score It

The full record

Votes, money, and conduct. All of it on the record, for everyone, equally. We are not here to tell you who to vote for. We are here to make sure you can see exactly who they are.

Campaign money

Special interest money shapes votes. These flags show which industries paid for a lawmaker's campaign, and what those industries want in return. Sourced from FEC filings.

AIPAC & pro-Israel PACs

Received money from AIPAC or the wider pro-Israel lobby network of PACs and super PACs, including money bundled through conduit PACs. All from FEC filings.

Fossil Fuel

Received money from oil, gas, and coal industry PACs that lobby against climate action.

Pharma

Received money from pharmaceutical industry PACs that lobby against drug price negotiation.

Wall Street

Received money from major banks and financial institutions that oppose consumer protection regulation.

Defense

Received money from defense contractors who profit from military spending regardless of strategic value.

Private Prison

Received money from for-profit prison companies that profit from mass incarceration.

A flag is added when total donations from that category go over FEC reporting thresholds.

Conduct & accountability

Public office demands the highest standard of conduct. These flags show documented ties to abuse or criminal networks. They also cover votes that shielded the powerful from accountability. Every flag comes from the public record: court documents, official vote rolls, legislative records.

EPSTEIN FILE -20 Score Penalty

Named in federal court documents from the Epstein/Maxwell case that were made public. Sourced only from unsealed court filings, not news reports or guesswork. This is the most severe flag.

Source: Federal court documents released by Judge Loretta Preska, 2024. These are legal filings, not convictions or guilty verdicts.

PEDOPHILE PROTECTOR -15 Score Penalty

Voted against bills to release the Epstein documents. Blocked transparency probes. Or worked to protect those named in the files. If you weren't for full transparency, you were protecting them.

BURIED ABUSE FILES Scored via vote record

Voted YEA on March 4, 2026 to send H.Res. 1100 to committee. That procedural move killed the measure. It would have required the Ethics Committee to publicly release records of congressional sexual harassment investigations. 357 members voted to bury it. 65 voted for transparency.
