Rep. Gillen Earns Top Grade for Bipartisanship in Congress
WASHINGTON, DC — Today, Congresswoman Laura Gillen (NY-04) announced that she earned a 96.5 Bridge Score and an “A” grade in the latest Bridge Grades report evaluating the 119th Congress. The score places Rep. Gillen among the highest-rated members of the U.S. House of Representatives for bipartisan collaboration.
“At a time of deep division, I’m glad to be named one of the most bipartisan members of Congress and will continue to push hyper- partisanship aside to deliver results for Nassau County, " said Rep. Gillen. “I was sent to Congress to work with anyone, from either party, to solve problems and get things done for Long Island. That’s why I’ve worked across the aisle to lower costs, keep Long Islanders safe and fix our broken immigration system.”
Bridge Grades is a nonpartisan initiative of the Mediators Foundation that evaluates every member of Congress using objective, third-party data measuring bipartisan collaboration. The methodology places greater emphasis on direct bipartisan legislative action than on public statements.
Since taking office, Rep. Gillen has emphasized bipartisan cooperation, with every bill she has introduced in Congress earning bipartisan support. She has one of the most centrist voting records in Congress, according to UCLA’s Voteview and CQ Roll Call. She has worked across the aisle to pass a bipartisan extension of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Haitians and has secured key legislative language in multiple bipartisan bills, reflecting her commitment to advancing practical, consensus-driven solutions.
