Vern Buchanan
Placed from the roll-call score. Bioguide B001260.
Vern Buchanan is the Republican representative for the House from FL, district 16 in the 119th Congress. The chart uses the October 2026 snapshot. The position is Voteview’s DW-NOMINATE score of the roll calls. Color is the party label. The place is the votes.
The first dimension is 0.361, drawn as economics +36. That is right of center on economics. The second dimension is -0.076, drawn as authority -8. The other axis sits near the middle. Voteview’s second dimension is not a pure social axis. The chart uses the public file anyway, rather than inventing a different number.
Inside the House, this first-dimension score ranks 252 of 433 from the left. The first-dimension score is left of the Republican median in this chamber (0.53). The nearest other House scores are Pete Stauber (Republican, 0.385), Nicole Malliotakis (Republican, 0.334), James Gallagher (Republican, 0.345). Those names are neighbors on the scale, not a slate.
No biography is added. The page does not invent key votes or a campaign promise that is not in the Voteview file.
