Former member of Congress · last served 114th Congress
Christopher P. Gibson
Christopher Gibson was a Republican U.S. representative from New York, first elected to Congress in 2011, who voted with most Republicans on 68% of the 112th Congress’s yes/no votes and sponsored 1 bill that became law (113th–114th 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 New York’s 19th district done while Rep. Gibson served?
2013 to 2016 in NY-19: typical household income was about the same after inflation, the share of people below the poverty line was about the same, and the share of workers looking for a job was down 2.7 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 New York’s 19th district during Gibson’s time representing it (2013 to 2017). 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. NY-19 was redrawn in 2012, 2022 and again in 2024 (the survey year the new lines first appear), but every survey year in Gibson’s term so far (2013 to 2016) 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.
