How to read. Rank is the legislator's 2026 rating rank among the 92 ranked legislators (1 = most conservative); Ch. rank is the rank within the chamber. Bands are the session-wide 2026 bands used on every 2026 rating report. Average rank is the mean overall rank of the ranked members; committee rank orders the 31 committees of 2026 by that average (1 = most conservative). Tom Kelly is not ranked (too few votes, 2026 minimum-vote rule); none on this committee.

Ranks exclude 1 legislator with too few votes (under 137 of 545 counted votes).
