Don Bacon
Placed from the roll-call score. Bioguide B001298.
Don Bacon is the Republican representative for the House from NE, district 2 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 0.277, drawn as economics +28. That is right of center on economics. The second dimension is 0.186, drawn as authority +19. The other axis sits toward authority. 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 229 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 Zachary Nunn (Republican, 0.292), Mario Diaz-Balart (Republican, 0.282), Maria Elvira Salazar (Republican, 0.274). Those names are neighbors on the scale, not a slate.
The member’s official site (https://bacon.house.gov), under “Agriculture,” says: “As a member of the House Agriculture Committee, Rep. Bacon enjoys representing a state that is centered in America’s heartland and is…” Those are the member’s words. They are not the same thing as the roll-call score.
One left-to-right score cannot say how Don Bacon would vote on a single bill. The identity and the vote file can be checked at congress.gov through bioguide B001298.
