Alcee Hastings was a Democratic U.S. representative from Florida, first elected to Congress in 1993, who voted with most Democrats on 95% 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 Florida’s 20th district done while Rep. Hastings served?
2016 to 2019 in FL-20: typical household income was about the same after inflation, the share of people below the poverty line was down 2.8 points, 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 20th district during Hastings’s time representing it (2013 to 2021). It does not say what the member did or caused. It is not a score, and PORKER never ranks members on it.
Only one set of district lines is shown. FL-20 was redrawn in 2012 and again in 2016, and a redrawn district is a different place. So this card shows only the longest stretch on the same lines during the term, 2016 to 2019 (no 2020 yearly estimate), not the full 2013 to 2021.

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.
