Avg Deviation

High Deviations

Federal Workforce and Government Operations

District priority: 92/100 Alignment: +75

District pattern: Maryland voters strongly oppose federal workforce reductions and shutdowns; state has one of the highest concentrations of federal employees and contractors in the nation

Van Hollen voted in favor of withholding Senate pay during shutdowns, a position that aligns with fiscal accountability but may conflict with constituents who prioritize avoiding shutdowns altogether; his record generally defends federal workers but this…

[ Show full deviation summary ]

Climate Change and Environmental Protection

District priority: 80/100 Alignment: +85

District pattern: Maryland has strong environmental priorities given Chesapeake Bay restoration, coastal vulnerability, and progressive suburban voters; bipartisan support for bay cleanup and climate action

Economic Development and Job Creation

District priority: 78/100 Alignment: +70

District pattern: Maryland voters prioritize stable employment, particularly in government, defense, biotech, and education sectors; support for federal investment in research and infrastructure

Van Hollen generally supports federal investments that benefit Maryland's economy, including defense installations, NIH, and federal facilities; his opposition to certain nominations could slow government functions that support state employment

Civil Rights and Social Justice

District priority: 75/100 Alignment: +30

District pattern: Maryland voters, especially in Baltimore and Prince George's County, strongly support civil rights protections, voting rights, and criminal justice reform

While Van Hollen has historically supported civil rights legislation, his votes against minority judicial nominees such as Sheria Akins Clarke (first Black woman on SC District Court) and Evan Rikhye create tension with constituents who prioritize diverse…

[ Show full deviation summary ]

Consumer Financial Protection and Banking Regulation

District priority: 70/100 Alignment: +65

District pattern: Maryland voters, particularly in suburban DC and Baltimore, favor consumer protections and financial regulation; state has strong consumer advocacy presence

Van Hollen voted for CFPB disapproval resolutions on overdraft and medical debt collection rules, which may conflict with consumer advocacy priorities in his state; however, his overall record supports CFPB's mission, creating minor mixed signals

Immigration Policy

District priority: 65/100 Alignment: +60

District pattern: Maryland has significant immigrant populations in Montgomery and Prince George's counties; voters are mixed but lean toward humane immigration policies and protections for documented immigrants

Military and Foreign Policy (Iran and War Powers)

District priority: 65/100 Alignment: +70

District pattern: Maryland has significant military and defense employment (Aberdeen Proving Ground, Fort Meade, Naval Academy); voters support measured foreign policy but also respect congressional war powers authority

Judicial and Executive Nominations

District priority: 60/100 Alignment: -30

District pattern: Maryland voters expect senators to vet nominees carefully; Democratic-leaning state supports fair and timely judicial confirmations with ideological compatibility

Van Hollen voted against multiple district court judges and U.S. Attorneys, including Sheria Akins Clarke, Andrew Benson, William Boyle, Kevin Holmes, and Brian David Miller, in what appears to be systematic partisan opposition rather than case-specific…

[ Show full deviation summary ]

Deficit Reduction and Fiscal Responsibility

District priority: 55/100 Alignment: -20

District pattern: Maryland is a relatively high-income, high-tax state where deficit concerns are moderate; voters generally prioritize maintaining federal services over aggressive deficit reduction

Van Hollen votes against numerous judicial and executive nominations in what appears to be partisan opposition rather than fiscal principle, complicating a coherent deficit-reduction posture; his support for CFPB oversight resolutions suggests some…

[ Show full deviation summary ]

Federal Reserve and Monetary Policy Oversight

District priority: 50/100 Alignment: -10

District pattern: Maryland voters, especially in financial services hubs, monitor Fed policy for its impact on mortgages and retirement savings; moderate priority outside of crisis periods

Van Hollen voted against Kevin Warsh for Federal Reserve Chairman, reflecting partisan opposition to a Trump-era nominee; this may not align with constituents who prioritize Fed independence and experience over partisan considerations

Calculation Methodology

Contract values are summed from documented money flow chains where this entity appears as a source or destination node. Amounts are drawn from USASpending.gov, FEC filings, SEC EDGAR, or LD-2 lobbying registrations.

Donor contributions aggregate documented amounts from the donor_interests table, sourced from FEC individual and PAC contribution filings.

Connected officials are elected officials in our database with a mapped relationship (lobbying, board membership, campaign contribution, etc.) to this entity.

Annualised flow represents the total documented dollar amount traced through money flow hops involving this entity. Where hop-level amounts are unavailable, the chain-level documented total is used as a conservative upper bound.

All figures are drawn from public filings. Estimates are conservative — undisclosed transactions, dark money, and vanish-point hops are excluded from totals. This is a minimum documented floor, not a ceiling.
