Joe Courtney
Placed from the roll-call score. Bioguide C001069.
Joe Courtney is the Democrat representative for the House from CT, 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 -0.336, drawn as economics -34. That is left of center on economics. The second dimension is 0.041, drawn as authority +4. 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 142 of 433 from the left. The first-dimension score is right of the Democrat median in this chamber (-0.39). The nearest other House scores are Stephen F. Lynch (Democrat, -0.342), Julia Brownley (Democrat, -0.306), Nellie Pou (Democrat, -0.308). Those names are neighbors on the scale, not a slate.
The member’s official site (https://courtney.house.gov), under “Grants,” says: “Your first step in the grants search is to define a project and then begin the research process. Every day, my office…” 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 Joe Courtney would vote on a single bill. The identity and the vote file can be checked at congress.gov through bioguide C001069.
