Former member of Congress · last served 116th Congress
Rob Bishop
Rob Bishop was a Republican U.S. representative from Utah, first elected to Congress in 2003, who voted with most Republicans on 95% of the 112th Congress’s yes/no votes and sponsored 3 bills that became law (113th–116th 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 Utah’s 1st district done while Rep. Bishop served?
2012 to 2019 in UT-1: typical household income was up 14% after inflation, the share of people below the poverty line was down 3.9 points, and the share of workers looking for a job was down 2.5 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 Utah’s 1st district during Bishop’s time representing it (2003 to 2021). 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. UT-1 was redrawn in 2012 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, 2012 to 2019 (no 2020 yearly estimate), not the full 2003 to 2021.

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.
