Robert C. "Bobby" Scott
Placed from the roll-call score. Bioguide S000185.
Robert C. "Bobby" Scott is the Democrat representative for the House from VA, district 3 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 -0.450, drawn as economics -45. That is left of center on economics. The second dimension is -0.005, drawn as authority 0. The other axis sits near the middle. 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 60 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 Emanuel Cleaver (Democrat, -0.454), Alma S. Adams (Democrat, -0.464), Frederica S. Wilson (Democrat, -0.476). Those names are neighbors on the scale, not a slate.
The member’s official site (https://bobbyscott.house.gov), under “COVID-19 Resources,” says: “COVID-19 is a respiratory illness that can spread from person to person. The virus that causes COVID-19 is a novel coronavirus.” 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 Robert C. "Bobby" Scott would vote on a single bill. The identity and the vote file can be checked at congress.gov through bioguide S000185.
