Former member of Congress · last served 114th Congress
Kelly Ayotte
Kelly Ayotte was a Republican U.S. senator from New Hampshire, first elected to Congress in 2011, who voted with most Republicans on 87% of the 112th Congress’s yes/no votes and sponsored 1 bill that became law (113th–114th 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.

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 New Hampshire done while Sen. Ayotte served?
2011 to 2016 in New Hampshire: typical household income was up 6% after inflation, the share of people below the poverty line was down 1.5 points, and the share of workers looking for a job was down 3.3 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. Oxblood = state, grey = U.S.
While they served, not because of them. This shows what happened in New Hampshire during Ayotte’s time representing it (2011 to 2017). It does not say what the member did or caused. It is not a score, and PORKER never ranks members on it.
New Hampshire’s borders do not change, so every year is comparable. The Census Bureau has no 2020 yearly estimate.

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.
