Derek Tran
Placed from the roll-call score. Bioguide T000491.
Derek Tran is the Democrat representative for the House from CA, district 45 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 -0.233, drawn as economics -23. That is left of center on economics. The second dimension is 0.140, drawn as authority +14. 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 192 of 433 from the left. The first-dimension score is right of the Democrat median in this chamber (-0.39). The nearest other House scores are Patrick Ryan (Democrat, -0.225), Thomas R. Suozzi (Democrat, -0.213), John W. Mannion (Democrat, -0.238). Those names are neighbors on the scale, not a slate.
The member’s official site (https://tran.house.gov), under “Economy & Small Businesss,” says: “Small businesses are the backbone of our nation’s economy. As a former small business owner, I know how challenging it is to…” 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 Derek Tran would vote on a single bill. The identity and the vote file can be checked at congress.gov through bioguide T000491.
