Voting analysis
The delegation figure on this page shows the widest same-state gap between two Democrats anywhere on the site. Maine sends two Democrats to the House, and the other one departs from the caucus several times more often than Chellie Pingree does — enough to pull the state average far above her own rate.
Among the 2 Democrats in the Maine delegation, the average rate of voting against the party majority is 14.5%. Chellie Pingree is below that average at 4.2%.
Read carelessly, "below the delegation average" suggests a loyalist in a loyal group. Here it means a fairly ordinary Democratic voting record sitting beside one of the chamber's most independent, and the average between them describes neither.
Where she broke ranks
Three amendment votes on a farm bill, all pressing changes the caucus would not take. Four refusals of measures it helped pass — a children's online safety bill, an organised retail crime act, a surveillance extension and a resolution on Iran. Two crossings outward, on a war powers resolution and a fuel retailing bill that failed.
