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.

Recent votes

No recorded roll-call votes in PORKER’s records. Roll-call records start in 2011.

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 13th district done while Rep. Jolly served?

2014 to 2015 in FL-13: typical household income was up 5% 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 1.1 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. Teal = district, oxblood = state, grey = U.S.

While they served, not because of them. This shows what happened in Florida’s 13th district during Jolly’s time representing it (2014 to 2017). 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-13 was redrawn in 2012, 2016 and again in 2022, and a redrawn district is a different place. So this card shows only the longest stretch on the same lines during the term, 2014 to 2015 (no 2020 yearly estimate), not the full 2014 to 2017.

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.
