James A. Himes
Placed from the roll-call score. Bioguide H001047.
James A. Himes is the Democrat representative for the House from CT, district 4 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 -0.241, drawn as economics -24. That is left of center on economics. The second dimension is -0.203, drawn as authority -20. 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 House, this first-dimension score ranks 185 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 Bill Foster (Democrat, -0.238), Andrea Salinas (Democrat, -0.227), Dave Min (Democrat, -0.207). Those names are neighbors on the scale, not a slate.
The member’s official site (https://himes.house.gov), under “Climate & Environment,” says: “I believe we should put a price on carbon to boost demand for renewable energy technologies, improve public health, create new jobs,…” 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 James A. Himes would vote on a single bill. The identity and the vote file can be checked at congress.gov through bioguide H001047.
