The delegation's average score is 80 out of 100, a C+. That ranks California 17th of the 50 states, and it is above the national average of 77.

Together the delegation was eligible for 35,650 roll-call votes and missed 847, an attendance rate of 97.6%. Its members sponsored 1,423 bills and joint resolutions. Of those, 5 became law and 59 more passed at least one chamber.

California's senators average 88 and its House members average 79. Senators are ranked only against other senators and representatives only against other representatives, so each number measures that group against its own chamber.

Aisha Wahab and James Gallagher took office partway through this Congress, so their grades cover a shorter record.
