Carl Albert

The dot is economics -16 and authority +10. That is left of center on economics. The other axis sits near the middle. Former members are placed from the public career, not from a 119th Congress Voteview score.
No separate “said, then did” note is on file. The career sentence above is the whole of the written placement. It names the public fact the dot is built from, and it stops there.
The nearest other former members on these two numbers are Dianne Feinstein (-16 / +12) and Alben Barkley (-16 / +12). Nearness is not a school of thought.
This page does not add votes that are not in the placement note. The bills themselves are in the Congressional Record for those years.
