Troy A. Carter
Placed from the roll-call score. Bioguide C001125.
Troy A. Carter is the Democrat representative for the House from LA, district 2 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 -0.521, drawn as economics -52. That is left of center on economics. The second dimension is 0.276, drawn as authority +28. The other axis sits toward authority. 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 19 of 433 from the left. The first-dimension score is left of the Democrat median in this chamber (-0.39). The nearest other House scores are James E. Clyburn (Democrat, -0.466), Wesley Bell (Democrat, -0.455), Al Green (Democrat, -0.448). Those names are neighbors on the scale, not a slate.
No biography is added. The page does not invent key votes or a campaign promise that is not in the Voteview file.
