Comparing legislative scores
Apply the RIEP formula used on Burke’s page to the same historical session as the Center for Effective Lawmaking’s scores.
The dashed diagonal shows equal numerical scores. Hover over a point for the legislator and values; the table provides the same data.
| Name | District | Party | Introduced | Passed | Law | RIEP | CEL SLES | RIEP rank | CEL rank | Rank difference |
|---|
Positive rank difference: a lower placement under RIEP. Negative: a higher placement. Ties share competition ranks; scores and ranks use unrounded source values.
Calculation and coverage
RIEP = N ÷ 3 × (introduced ÷ chamber introduced + passed chamber ÷ chamber passed + became law ÷ chamber law).
Equal weight for three stages, with an average of 1 in each chamber. Counts combine CEL’s substantive and substantive-and-significant categories without weighting them. Commemorative bills are excluded. This is a category-based approximation to RIEP’s non-resolution bill scope, not a new official bill-level recount.
The full CEL historical roster contains 75 House records and 39 Senate records across 38 Senate districts. Maryellen Goodwin and Jacob Bissaillon both served District 1 during this session; both records remain in the calculation. N is the number of legislator records, not occupied seats.
CEL SLES uses five stages, including committee and beyond-committee action, and weights bill significance. Its expected benchmark is a separate comparison and is not used in the RIEP calculation. Party ranks on candidate profiles differ from the full-chamber ranks shown here.
Pearson correlation compares score values. Spearman correlation compares ordering using average ranks for ties. A high correlation is expected because both measures share sponsorship and advancement inputs; it does not establish independent validity or measure constituent service, policy quality, or all legislative contributions.
Urso first served in 2025 and has no 2023–2024 record. No score is assigned for a session she did not serve in.
