Where their votes land

Each scale runs between the two parties. The left end is the side most Democrats took on a set of hand-picked roll-call votes, the right end the side most Republicans took, and A. Donald McEachin's marker sits at the share of those votes they cast on the Republican side. Votes that most of both parties agreed on are left out, because they cannot show which side anyone was on.

Overall

Democratic side0 · Voted with Democrats almost every timeRepublican side
  • Average House Democrat: 2
  • Average House Republican: 98

0 is the Democratic side of every party-split vote and 100 the Republican side of every one. This is the average of the 6 value positions below. A value with 4 or more votes counts once however many votes stand behind it; 5 values below have fewer than 4 votes and are counted for less in it, and 6 values have no votes from A. Donald McEachin at all.

Positions count only the votes this person cast, so two people can be placed on different numbers of votes — the count beside each value says how many. How the votes were chosen, and how each party's side is counted.

A district link opens that seat as the plan in force draws it. Seat numbers outlive the lines beneath them, so for an older term that is not the ground they held.

Their district

The ground A. Donald McEachin represented, and what was measured on it while they held it. A seat listed twice is a seat whose boundaries were redrawn: the entries describe different areas, not the same area twice.

Every indicator and period for VA-4

Figures are the most recent published for each indicator in a period that ended while they held the seat — a figure published after they left describes their successor’s district. Allocated figures are built from the counties overlapping the district and carry the share of its residents the reporting sources covered. These are conditions in the district, not a record of the member. Nothing here is evidence that they caused any of it, or that a different representative would have produced different numbers.
