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.

How has New York’s 20th district done while Rep. Murphy served?
2009 to 2010 in NY-20: 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 up 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 New York’s 20th district during Murphy’s time representing it (2009 to 2011). 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-20 was redrawn in 2012, 2022 and again in 2024 (the survey year the new lines first appear), but every survey year in Murphy’s term so far (2009 and 2010) 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.
