Rick Larsen
Placed from the roll-call score. Bioguide L000560.
Rick Larsen is the Democrat representative for the House from WA, district 2 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 -0.365, drawn as economics -36. That is left of center on economics. The second dimension is 0.167, drawn as authority +17. 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 127 of 433 from the left. The first-dimension score is close to the Democrat median in this chamber (-0.39). The nearest other House scores are Jason Crow (Democrat, -0.361), Brendan F. Boyle (Democrat, -0.379), Emilia Strong Sykes (Democrat, -0.333). Those names are neighbors on the scale, not a slate.
The member’s official site (https://larsen.house.gov), under “Energy & Environment,” says: “I will also continue to advocate for a comprehensive federal energy policy to create and keep clean energy jobs in the U.S.…” 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 Rick Larsen would vote on a single bill. The identity and the vote file can be checked at congress.gov through bioguide L000560.
