Senator, South Dakota · 1963–1981
George McGovern
1972 nominee. Anti-war, anti-poverty, and the left edge of the Democratic Party of his era.
George McGovern is on the former-members chart, not the current Congress. The office on file is Senator, South Dakota, 1963–1981. The placement note is: 1972 nominee. Anti-war, anti-poverty, and the left edge of the Democratic Party of his era.
The dot is economics -46 and authority -30. That is left of center on economics. The other axis sits toward liberty. Former members are placed from the public career, not from a 119th Congress Voteview score.
Said: Come home, America. A guaranteed income and an end to the war. Done: He carried one state. The platform did not become law. The placement follows what the career did when the two diverge.
The nearest other former members on these two numbers are Shirley Chisholm (-48 / -22) and Bella Abzug (-46 / -20). 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.
