James A. Himes

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 Connecticut’s 4th district done while Rep. Himes served?
2009 to 2024 in CT-4: 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 4.5 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 Connecticut’s 4th district during Himes’s time representing it (2009 to now). 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. CT-4’s lines did not change in these years, so every year 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.
