Janelle S. Bynum
Placed from the roll-call score. Bioguide B001326.
Janelle S. Bynum is the Democrat representative for the House from OR, district 5 in the 119th Congress. The chart uses the October 2026 snapshot. The position is Voteview’s DW-NOMINATE score of the roll calls. Color is the party label. The place is the votes.
The first dimension is -0.288, drawn as economics -29. That is left of center on economics. The second dimension is 0.089, drawn as authority +9. The other axis sits near the middle. Voteview’s second dimension is not a pure social axis. The chart uses the public file anyway, rather than inventing a different number.
Inside the House, this first-dimension score ranks 169 of 433 from the left. The first-dimension score is right of the Democrat median in this chamber (-0.39). The nearest other House scores are Seth Magaziner (Democrat, -0.303), April McClain Delaney (Democrat, -0.290), Salud O. Carbajal (Democrat, -0.323). Those names are neighbors on the scale, not a slate.
The member’s official site (https://bynum.house.gov), under “K-30,” says: “Oregon City, OR – Today, Congresswoman Janelle Bynum (OR-05) launched her signature ‘K-30’ agenda – a platform focused on supporting young Americans…” Those are the member’s words. They are not the same thing as the roll-call score.
One left-to-right score cannot say how Janelle S. Bynum would vote on a single bill. The identity and the vote file can be checked at congress.gov through bioguide B001326.
