Former member of Congress · last served 116th Congress
Susan A. Davis
Susan Davis was a Democratic U.S. representative from California, first elected to Congress in 2001, who voted with most Democrats on 94% of the 112th Congress’s yes/no votes and sponsored 1 bill 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.

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 California done while Rep. Davis served?
2005 to 2019 in California: typical household income was up 14% after inflation, the share of people below the poverty line was down 1.6 points, and the share of workers looking for a job was down 2.1 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 California during Davis’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.
Survey years start at 2005. The yearly estimates for California 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.
