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.

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
Opposes
“When Sen. Schumer proposed eliminating the filibuster, I opposed that idea, and my views on the importance of the filibuster have not changed.”
Sen. Jerry Moran statement (opens in a new tab), November 6, 2025.
A talking filibuster
Opposes
Voted against the January 19, 2022 rules change that would have required a talking filibuster on the voting-rights bill.

No score means none was published.
Each out of 100, as the group publishes it: Heritage Action and Turning Point Action (the senator’s lifetime scores), Club for Growth (the senator’s lifetime rating) and GOP Platform (2025), which measures agreement with the national Republican Party platform and is published by the Institute for Legislative Analysis.
“No score published” means the group published none, not zero.
