Former member of Congress · last served 112th Congress
Jason Altmire
Jason Altmire was a Democratic U.S. representative from Pennsylvania, first elected to Congress in 2007, who voted with most Democrats on 75% of the 112th Congress’s yes/no votes and sponsored 5 bills that became law (110th–112th Congress).
How we count: “Broke with party” is a yes/no roll call where the member voted against most of their own party on that vote (party as recorded; even splits not counted). “Pork: own share” splits each earmark shared by several members evenly among them.

Source: MIT Election Data and Science Lab, U.S. House V15 / U.S. Senate V8 (CC0), retrieved 2026-10-18; winners matched to member records by seat and term. Results run through the 2024 elections; nothing from 2026 is shown until it is certified. A margin is a fact about one election, never a score of how well a member represents anyone, and PORKER does not rank members by it.
How has Pennsylvania’s 4th district done while Rep. Altmire served?
2007 to 2011 in PA-4: typical household income was about the same after inflation, the share of people below the poverty line was up 1.4 points, and the share of workers looking for a job was up 2.4 points.
Each mini chart has its own scale, fitted to its lines (it does not start at zero), so compare the numbers, not the heights. Teal = district, oxblood = state, grey = U.S.
While they served, not because of them. This shows what happened in Pennsylvania’s 4th district during Altmire’s time representing it (2007 to 2013). It does not say what the member did or caused. It is not a score, and PORKER never ranks members on it.
Only one set of district lines is shown. PA-4 was redrawn in 2012, 2018 and again in 2022, and a redrawn district is a different place. So this card shows only the longest stretch on the same lines during the term, 2007 to 2011 (no 2020 yearly estimate), not the full 2007 to 2013.

Read this first. These are counts of records Congress.gov lists. Many bills never get a CBO estimate or a report, so a zero is not a mark against a member. We never show this as a score.
