Josh Gottheimer
Placed from the roll-call score. Bioguide G000583.
Josh Gottheimer is the Democrat representative for the House from NJ, district 5 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 -0.165, drawn as economics -16. That is left of center on economics. The second dimension is 0.214, drawn as authority +21. 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 212 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 Josh Riley (Democrat, -0.202), Laura Gillen (Democrat, -0.166), Thomas R. Suozzi (Democrat, -0.213). Those names are neighbors on the scale, not a slate.
A short public-record note says: New Jersey Democrat. Problem Solvers moderate. A Democratic score near the center of his party. The score is the placement. The sentence only names what the record is already known for.
