Former member of Congress

Bill Nelson

Sen. for FL, Democrat, in the 115th Congress (2017–2018).

No longer in Congress. This page shows their record in the past Congresses on this site, with the seat and party they held then.

Time in office

Every stretch of service in Congress, from the congress-legislators records. Vote counts on this site begin in 2013, so service before then has dates but no scores.

Office	Seat	Party	From	To	Congresses
U.S. Senate, Florida	FL	Democrat	Jan. 3, 2001	Jan. 3, 2019	107th–115th
U.S. House, Florida	FL-09, FL-11	Democrat	Jan. 15, 1979	Jan. 3, 1991	96th–101st

Voting record by President

All the votes on this site from their time in office, added up under the President in office on the day of each vote. One President's figures are never combined with another's, and Trump's two terms are separate. A new President can take office partway through a Congress, so these can differ slightly from a Congress's own figures.

President	Congresses	Votes with the President	Party loyalty	Missed votes
Donald J. Trump (2017–2021)	115th	53% (106 of 200)	80% (251 of 313)	7% (38 of 571)
Barack Obama (2009–2017)	115th, 114th, 113th	98% (309 of 314)	95% (712 of 750)	4% (51 of 1,187)

Every Congress

Each row is that Congress alone, and the President score is for the President of that time. Missed votes are left out of both scores.

Congress	Seat	Party	Party loyalty	Votes with the President	Missed votes
115th Congress (2017–2018)	Senate FL	Democrat	82%	Obama: –; Trump: 53%	6%
114th Congress (2015–2016)	Senate FL	Democrat	90%	Obama: 96%	6%
113th Congress (2013–2014)	Senate FL	Democrat	98%	Obama: 99%	3%

Where they broke ranks, 115th Congress

Votes where they went against most of their party on a vote that split the parties (62), or against the position President Obama / Trump took publicly before the vote (94).
