Summary
- Capitol Hill’s most collaborative lawmakers are leaving their seats this year, with 70% of departing legislators being considered bridgers.
- The group Bridge Pledge assigns “Bridge Grades” based on collaboration and consensus-building efforts.
- The analysis found a balance of bridgers and dividers across party lines in the Senate, but Democrats outnumber Republicans as top bridgers in the House.
- The project aims to recognize and support bridging politicians over divisive ones to encourage a more collaborative legislative environment.
