WASHINGTON, D.C. — U.S. Representative Greg Stanton (AZ-04) was ranked the most bipartisan Democrat in Arizona’s U.S. House delegation, earning an “A” grade and a 95 out of 100 Bridge Score in the latest Bridge Grades report. The nonpartisan organization evaluates how collaboratively or divisively members of Congress govern compared with their peers.
“Proud to earn an A from Bridge Grades for being one of the most effective, bipartisan legislators in Congress. When it comes to lowering costs and supporting working families, I'll work with anyone — Democrat or Republican. That's the job, and Arizonans expect nothing less,” said Rep. Stanton on X.
Stanton’s 95.0 Bridge Score is one of the highest among House Democrats in the 119th Congress, earning him an “A” for bipartisanship. The House average is 44.9, and of the 435 members evaluated by Bridge Grades, just 76 received an A—36 Democrats and 40 Republicans.
Bridge Grades describes itself as a nonpartisan “polarization report card” and compiles third-party public data on lawmakers’ legislative records and public rhetoric, including whether members introduce and co-sponsor bipartisan legislation, discuss bipartisanship and avoid personal attacks. Scores are measured relative to other members of the same chamber.
