Representative, New York · 1971–1989
Jack Kemp
Tax-cut Republican, a 1988 presidential run, then housing secretary and the 1996 ticket.
Jack Kemp is on the former-members chart, not the current Congress. The office on file is Representative, New York, 1971–1989. The placement note is: Tax-cut Republican, a 1988 presidential run, then housing secretary and the 1996 ticket.
The dot is economics +48 and authority +8. That is right 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 Eric Cantor (+42 / +16) and Robert A. Taft (+52 / +18). 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.
