Kirsten E. Gillibrand
Placed from the roll-call score. Bioguide G000555.
Kirsten E. Gillibrand is the Democrat senator for the Senate from NY 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 -0.446, drawn as economics -45. That is left of center on economics. The second dimension is -0.308, drawn as authority -31. 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 10 of 100 from the left. The first-dimension score is left of the Democrat median in this chamber (-0.36). The nearest other Senate scores are Alex Padilla (Democrat, -0.442), Patty Murray (Democrat, -0.357), Chris Van Hollen (Democrat, -0.399). Those names are neighbors on the scale, not a slate.
A short public-record note says: New York Democrat. Moved left in the Senate after a more moderate House start. The score is the placement. The sentence only names what the record is already known for.
One left-to-right score cannot say how Kirsten E. Gillibrand would vote on a single bill. The identity and the vote file can be checked at congress.gov through bioguide G000555.
