Analysis
Ideology–Leadership Chart
Shadegg is shown as a purple triangle ▲ in our ideology-leadership chart below. Each dot was a member of the House of Representatives in 2010 positioned according to our ideology score (left to right) and our leadership score (leaders are toward the top).
The chart is based on the bills Shadegg sponsored and cosponsored from Jan 4, 2005 to Dec 21, 2010. See full analysis methodology.
Enacted Legislation
Shadegg was the primary sponsor of 3 bills that were enacted:
- H.R. 4519 (109th): State High Risk Pool Funding Extension Act of 2006
- H.R. 2647 (106th): Ak-Chin Water Use Amendments Act of 1999
- H.R. 4151 (105th): Identity Theft and Assumption Deterrence Act of 1998
Does 3 not sound like a lot? Very few bills are ever enacted — most legislators sponsor only a handful that are signed into law. But there are other legislative activities that we don’t track that are also important, including offering amendments, committee work and oversight of the other branches, and constituent services.
We consider a bill enacted if one of the following is true: a) it is enacted itself, b) it has a companion bill in the other chamber (as identified by Congress) which was enacted, or c) if at least about half of its provisions were incorporated into bills that were enacted (as determined by an automated text analysis, applicable beginning with bills in the 110th Congress).

Voting Record
Key Votes
Missed Votes
From Jan 1995 to Dec 2010, Shadegg missed 301 of 10,699 roll call votes, which is 2.8%. This is on par with the median of 3.1% among the lifetime records of representatives serving in Dec 2010. The chart below reports missed votes over time.
We don’t track why legislators miss votes, but it’s often due to medical absenses, major life events, and running for higher office.
