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 Florida’s 13th district done while Rep. Crist served?
2017 to 2021 in FL-13: typical household income was up 8% after inflation, the share of people below the poverty line was about the same, and the share of workers looking for a job was about the same.
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 Florida’s 13th district during Crist’s time representing it (2017 to 2022). It does not say what the member did or caused. It is not a score, and PORKER never ranks members on it.
One set of district lines. FL-13 was redrawn in 2012, 2016 and again in 2022 (the survey year the new lines first appear), but every survey year in Crist’s term so far (2017 to 2021) uses the same lines, so they can be compared. 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.
