Jonah Garson's seat is marked. Seats run from most liberal (left) to most conservative (right), by contested floor votes. Color shows how often each member crosses party lines toward the middle on votes that divide the parties: solid blue or red means almost never, and purple means on at least 1 in 5 of those votes. Gray seats are members too new to score. How these numbers work

Rank by statewide bills passed: Rank 28 of 50 in the Senate (tied with 22 others) · 2 of 20 Democrats (tied with 18 others)
A bill's sponsors are its primary sponsors, the names the General Assembly marks “Primary” (up to four on a House bill, three on a Senate bill); co-sponsors aren't counted. Local bills, which apply to one or a few counties or cities, are counted apart.
Bills that passed both chambers
None of the bills Jonah Garson sponsored passed both chambers.
Budget projects
North Carolina's budget acts, and the conference reports that list their items, don't say which legislator asked for an item, so there's no budget figure for North Carolina legislators.
Contested votes where they split
