Saxby Chambliss was a Republican U.S. senator from Georgia, first elected to Congress in 1995, who voted with most Republicans on 93% of the 112th Congress’s yes/no votes.
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 Georgia done while Sen. Chambliss served?
2005 to 2014 in Georgia: typical household income was down 11% after inflation, the share of people below the poverty line was up 3.9 points, and the share of workers looking for a job was up 0.9 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 Georgia during Chambliss’s time representing it (2003 to 2015). It does not say what the member did or caused. It is not a score, and PORKER never ranks members on it.
Survey years start at 2005. The yearly estimates for Georgia begin in 2005, so 2003 to 2004 are not shown. No 2020 yearly estimate exists.

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.
