The StumpWatch awards
Who leads and who lags
The best and worst performer — with the next three runners-up — in every category we track, from promise-keeping to voting, legislative output, independence, and campaign-funding mix. Every board is computed straight from the sourced record and refreshes as the data changes, so it's always current. Neutral by design: some categories (funding mix, independence) are a factual record, not praise or blame.
