2020 Virginia House of Delegates Demographics and Voting Behavior Dataset

The dataset contains the information collected on delegate demographics and voting behavior for all 100 members of the 2020 Virginia House of Delegates. Information is sectioned by columns. The first section lists the delegates by name and district. Following that is the section on delegate demographics, with information on political affiliation, gender/sex, race, religious affiliation (including Christianity subsect if applicable), highest level of education, and birth year (including a corresponding “high” and “low” age for that year. The following, and largest, section is that of House Bills and delegate votes. House Bills are separated by subject, in alphabetical order. There is also a second sheet in which duplicate bills have been removed (some bills were indexed under more than one bill subject in the main dataset). The information on delegate demographics is identical to the main dataset on the first sheet. In the section on House Bills and delegate votes, however, bills are not separated by subject, and each bill is only listed once. The corresponding information on delegate votes for each bill is identical to the first sheet.
