About Bridge Grades

Bridge Grades is a polarization report card for Congress.

Using 3rd party data, we grade politicians on their abilities to collaborate and build consensus solutions for the common interests of multiple parties versus how polarizing they behave.

In aggregating data from multiple non-partisan 3rd party sources, Bridge Grade is like Rotten Tomatoes for politicians. Bridge Grades measure not “what” a politician thinks, but rather “how” the politician behaves.

Below is a map with Bridge Grades for the House of Representatives from the 118th Congress (last term). For a lot more detail, visit www.bridgegrades.org.

[Updated Bridge Grades for the House and the Senate for the 119th Congress are coming in summer 2025.]
