Doris O. Matsui
Placed from the roll-call score. Bioguide M001163.
Doris O. Matsui is the Democrat representative for the House from CA, 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 -0.433, drawn as economics -43. That is left of center on economics. The second dimension is -0.151, drawn as authority -15. 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 74 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 Joaquin Castro (Democrat, -0.403), Frank Pallone, Jr. (Democrat, -0.403), Betty McCollum (Democrat, -0.419). Those names are neighbors on the scale, not a slate.
The member’s official site (https://matsui.house.gov), under “Voting Record,” says: “One of the most important aspects of Congress is developing, making, and monitoring laws. New legislation is passed almost every week. Please…” 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 Doris O. Matsui would vote on a single bill. The identity and the vote file can be checked at congress.gov through bioguide M001163.
