Key Votes

52 tracked votes and 15 sponsorship items from the LA City Left Tracker

Scores cover contested (non-unanimous) roll calls only, beginning January 2023 — unevenly. 2025 onward is complete; 2023 and 2024 are only the meetings that carry a tracked vote. 3 of the tracker's 50 tracked columns have no vote here, for the reasons listed at the bottom of this page. Expect these figures to differ from the source sheet's: the denominators are not the same. Total Left Score is 90% Voting Score plus 10% Sponsor Score.
