Contributing sentiments towards policy:

51% : Lee's high score is an achievement by the measure of fiscal conservatism since the average score for the second session of the 117th Congress is 45%.
37% : All lawmakers are given the "taxpayer score," which measures their support for "reducing wasteful government spending, opposing higher taxes, and often opposing burdensome regulations that can stifle U.S. economic growth," according to NTU, a fiscally conservative, nonpartisan organization.
