Christopher A. Coons
Placed from the roll-call score. Bioguide C001088.
Christopher A. Coons is the Democrat senator for the Senate from DE 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 -0.240, drawn as economics -24. That is left of center on economics. The second dimension is -0.206, drawn as authority -21. The other axis sits toward liberty. 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 Senate, this first-dimension score ranks 41 of 100 from the left. The first-dimension score is right of the Democrat median in this chamber (-0.36). The nearest other Senate scores are Michael F. Bennet (Democrat, -0.246), Gary C. Peters (Democrat, -0.252), Jeanne Shaheen (Democrat, -0.216). Those names are neighbors on the scale, not a slate.
The member’s official site (https://www.coons.senate.gov), under “Agriculture,” says: “Delaware doesn’t just have a great agricultural sector. It also grows great agricultural community leaders. Sometimes in the Senate I may have…” 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 Christopher A. Coons would vote on a single bill. The identity and the vote file can be checked at congress.gov through bioguide C001088.
