Tom McClintock
Placed from the roll-call score. Bioguide M001177.
Tom McClintock is the Republican representative for the House from CA, 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 0.671, drawn as economics +67. That is right of center on economics. The second dimension is -0.358, drawn as authority -36. 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 391 of 433 from the left. The first-dimension score is right of the Republican median in this chamber (0.53). The nearest other House scores are W. Gregory Steube (Republican, 0.686), Andy Harris (Republican, 0.676), Michael Cloud (Republican, 0.691). Those names are neighbors on the scale, not a slate.
The member’s official site (https://mcclintock.house.gov), under “California Water Crisis,” says: “Letter to Felicia Marcus, Chair, California Water Resources Control Board Regarding the Final Draft of the Bay-Delta Plan Update (click letter below…” 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 Tom McClintock would vote on a single bill. The identity and the vote file can be checked at congress.gov through bioguide M001177.
