Lauren Underwood
Lauren Underwood is a Democratic U.S. representative from Illinois, in Congress since 2019, who voted with most Democrats on 98% of the 119th Congress’s yes/no votes and has had 1 bill become law since 2019.
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.

Full election history for this seat →
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 Illinois’s 14th district done while Rep. Underwood served?
2022 to 2024 in IL-14: typical household income was up 7% after inflation, the share of people below the poverty line was down 1.5 points, and the share of workers looking for a job was up 1.4 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 Illinois’s 14th district during Underwood’s time representing it (2019 to now). 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. IL-14 was redrawn in 2012 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, 2022 to 2024 (no 2020 yearly estimate), not the full 2019 to now.

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.
