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 Idaho’s 1st district done while Rep. Sali served?
2007 to 2008 in ID-1: typical household income was down 4% after inflation, the share of people below the poverty line was about the same, 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 Idaho’s 1st district during Sali’s time representing it (2007 to 2009). 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. ID-1’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.
