While they served, not because of them. This shows what happened in Florida during Rubio’s time representing it (2011 to 2025). It does not say what the member did or caused. It is not a score, and PORKER never ranks members on it.

Florida’s borders do not change, so every year is comparable. The Census Bureau has no 2020 yearly estimate.

Evidence
What is counted
Senate roll calls in the 119th Congress on the question of confirming a civilian nomination, as recorded on senate.gov. Cloture and procedural votes are not counted.
How it is matched
The vote record names the nomination number; the senator is matched by the Senate member id.
Not voting
Includes absences and any other reason. The record does not say why.

589 of the 617 confirmed civilian nominations show a roll-call vote on their latest-action line; the rest show a voice vote, unanimous consent or another method, with no individual votes. So this is only the roll-call subset. It says nothing about whether any vote was right or wrong.
