Robert Menendez
Placed from the roll-call score. Bioguide M001226.
Robert Menendez is the Democrat representative for the House from NJ, district 8 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 -0.508, drawn as economics -51. That is left of center on economics. The second dimension is 0.173, 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 25 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 Daniel S. Goldman (Democrat, -0.448), Cleo Fields (Democrat, -0.457), James E. Clyburn (Democrat, -0.466). Those names are neighbors on the scale, not a slate.
No biography is added. The page does not invent key votes or a campaign promise that is not in the Voteview file.
