Senator voting record · 119th Congress
Darline Graham
Republican, South Carolina
The 119th Congress, roll calls from July 14, 2026 to Sept. 30, 2026.
At a glance
Darline Graham voted with the Republican majority on 98.1% of 53 contested votes since July 14, 2026. That is a short record, since the typical senator cast 872 of these votes, so it is not ranked. Votes against party
On this short record, their votes sit closer to the typical Republican, 4% of the way toward the typical Democrat, and the bills they back sit 50% past the typical Republican. Place in the Senate · By issue
On the one issue with enough votes, their votes stay within about 4% of the typical Republican. Nominations
None of their 3 sponsored measures became law; 69 of 104 senators had none that did. Bills and laws
Missed 5 of 62 roll calls held while serving (8.1%), over a short period; the typical senator missed 2.2%. Attendance
A vote against the party majority can reflect a home-state interest or a procedural step. Absences can reflect illness, family matters, official travel or campaigning. A proposal enacted through a companion House bill or inside a larger bill is not counted as the sponsor's measure becoming law. How these are worked out.
- Contested vote:
- a roll call where the losing side got at least 10% of the votes cast.
- Party break:
- a contested vote against the majority of their own party.
- Cosponsor:
- a senator who signs on to support a measure, a bill or resolution, that another senator introduced. Bills backed means sponsored or cosponsored.
- Typical senator:
- the middle senator of a group, with half on each side. "17% of the way" means 17% of the distance from the typical senator in one party to the typical senator in the other.

Where they stand by issue
A position shows which senators someone votes or legislates alongside, not whether they are for or against a policy. Issues come from each bill's topic, so an issue can include amendments on other topics. Left and right on the strips have no meaning of their own. Bills often have backers from both parties, so a position from bills is read against the medians for bills, not against the position from votes. How these are worked out.

Each mark is a senator. The vertical line is the typical senator in that caucus.

Committees and leadership
The source lists no committee assignments for this senator. That can mean it has not recorded them yet.
As published by the congress-legislators project on . The source lists current assignments only and may not reflect past ones.
Earmarks
An earmark, officially Congressionally Directed Spending, is an amount in an appropriations law set aside for a named project, at a senator's request. These items come from the tables printed with the enacted fiscal 2026 laws. The tables list funded projects only and do not state the amount each senator requested, so the amounts here are what the law provided for the project, not money a senator received.
The fiscal 2026 tables list no project requested by this senator. Some senators decline to request earmarks, so an empty list is a record and not a gap. The tables list funded projects only, so they do not show whether any request went unfunded.
Fiscal 2027 is not shown. The Senate committee has not reported its fiscal 2027 bills, and its table of requests could not be read automatically.
Attendance
Missed 5 of 62 roll calls held while serving (8.1%).
Present for 2 roll calls, counted as attending.
Absences can reflect illness, family matters, official travel or campaigning.
