Leader Badges
Legislators get a badge for two reasons: 1-They are elected or appointed as an officer in their caucus. 2-CalMatters reporters recognize they are highly influential on key topics.
Ideology
This scale is based on a calculation long used by political scientists. It measures how a legislator votes in relation to other legislators. You can read more here.
Bill Activity
Data is for the current session. Some context: Introducing a lot of bills is not necessarily a good thing. And having bills fail is not necessarily a bad reflection on a legislator (sometimes it just means they are in the minority party).
For this session year, this legislator initiated 30 bills: 13 passed, 4 failed, and 13 are currently pending.
Alignment Meter
The alignment meter compares the votes of a legislator with the positions taken on legislation by an organization either in writing or in testimony.
See all-time percentage of this legislator’s alignment with any organization based on total votes.

Influence
Influence is money, travel or gifts given to an incumbent lawmaker for purposes of a working relationship between the donor and the legislator.
There are three categories of donations to legislators after they are elected that encourage a working relationship between the donor and the legislator. The three categories are: 1-Gifts, 2-Travel, 3-Behests.

Behests
A behest is when a legislator requests a donation from one individual or organization be given to another. Often the donation is for a charity or a networking group. Sometimes that group is affiliated with the legislator or operated by them.
These are unlimited payments made “at the behest” — or request — of a legislator to a third party. The behest might involve, for example, a legislator requesting a donation be made to a school district or a job fair. Behests must be reported if they exceed $5,000 from a single source in a year.
