Ron Wyden
Placed from the roll-call score. Bioguide W000779.
Ron Wyden is the Democrat senator for the Senate from OR 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 -0.335, drawn as economics -33. That is left of center on economics. The second dimension is -0.485, drawn as authority -48. 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 Senate, this first-dimension score ranks 31 of 100 from the left. The first-dimension score is close to the Democrat median in this chamber (-0.36). The nearest other Senate scores are Charles E. Schumer (Democrat, -0.356), Maria Cantwell (Democrat, -0.308), Peter Welch (Democrat, -0.399). Those names are neighbors on the scale, not a slate.
A short public-record note says: Oregon Democrat. Taxes, privacy, and trade — a liberal with a libertarian streak on surveillance. The score is the placement. The sentence only names what the record is already known for.
One left-to-right score cannot say how Ron Wyden would vote on a single bill. The identity and the vote file can be checked at congress.gov through bioguide W000779.
