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.

While they served, not because of them. This shows what happened in Puerto Rico during González-Colón’s time representing it (2017 to 2025). It does not say what the member did or caused. It is not a score, and PORKER never ranks members on it.

Puerto Rico’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.
