Who votes together—and where.
Explore each councilor’s record by topic, the pairs that repeatedly align on divided votes, and the issues where Council finds the most and least agreement. Every pattern is linked back to the public record.
Where Council divides most.
A divided vote contains at least one yes and one no. A higher rate means Council divided more often on matters in that topic—not that every disagreement was equally consequential.
Public safety
Police, fire, emergency response, community safety, and violence prevention.
The voting record on public safety.
A yes rate is not a “pro-topic” score: each roll call asks a different question. These cards report how each member voted on the proposals grouped here.
