Gary C. Peters sided with the majority of Democrats on 823 of 871 votes where their party took a clear position, breaking ranks 48 times.
Counts Yea and Nay only. “Present” takes no side, so counting it as breaking ranks would penalize something that isn't. Roll calls where the member's party split evenly are excluded — there is no majority to agree with. This measures voting alongside one's party, which is not the same as ideology, and it is not comparable to DW-NOMINATE. See the methodology.
