Lean is the state’s 2025 Cook Partisan Voting Index (PVI): R+5 to R+9 is lean Republican, R+10 and up solidly Republican, and D+ leans Democratic. Approval is the latest published Morning Consult rating, from its quarterly survey of registered voters in each state. Last election is the share of the vote the senator won. Cash on hand is the campaign’s money at the end of the reporting period named.

Committees
  • Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry

A gold mark names a leadership post. The posts and committees are the 119th Congress’s, as senate.gov lists them: a chair led a full committee for the majority, a ranking member was the senior member of the minority on it. The 120th Congress, which Democrats control, names its own in January 2027.

The filibuster

The senator’s own public position, from a recorded vote or a dated statement. A talking filibuster requires senators to hold the floor to block a vote.

Ending the legislative filibuster

Supports

“no arcane Senate procedural rule should block people’s ability to be heard in their democracy.”

MS NOW ‘The Weeknight’ interview, as transcribed by Breitbart (opens in a new tab), May 19, 2026.

A talking filibuster

Supports

Voted for the January 19, 2022 rules change that would have required a talking filibuster on the voting-rights bill.
