Matheson is 141 out of 435 my own Congress person somewhat lower and considered conservative although the voting record doesn’t quite support the title.
So, either the House isn’t near as conservative as anyone might think since you can’t even go down 150 out of 435 and still find a conservative, or the definition of conservative is screwed up, or any test of voting record for conservative is screwed up, or no one past the top ten meet the test, or all four.
