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 Ohio done while Rep. Boccieri served?
2009 to 2010 in Ohio: typical household income was down 2% after inflation, the share of people below the poverty line was up 0.6 points, and the share of workers looking for a job was up 0.3 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 Ohio during Boccieri’s time representing it (2009 to 2011). It does not say what the member did or caused. It is not a score, and PORKER never ranks members on it.
Ohio’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.
