Pramila Jayapal
Placed from the roll-call score. Bioguide J000298.
Pramila Jayapal is the Democrat representative for the House from WA, district 7 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 -0.607, drawn as economics -61. That is left of center on economics. The second dimension is -0.584, drawn as authority -58. 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 4 of 433 from the left. The first-dimension score is left of the Democrat median in this chamber (-0.39). The nearest other House scores are Mark Pocan (Democrat, -0.521), Adelita S. Grijalva (Democrat, -0.497), Jerrold Nadler (Democrat, -0.507). Those names are neighbors on the scale, not a slate.
A short public-record note says: Washington Democrat. Chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus in recent Congresses. The score is the placement. The sentence only names what the record is already known for.
One left-to-right score cannot say how Pramila Jayapal would vote on a single bill. The identity and the vote file can be checked at congress.gov through bioguide J000298.
