I am honestly a little shocked that the two numbers for Republicans are identical to 3 significant digits.

Also, your numbers are for House Representatives, not congressmen.

I'm not trying to be overly pedantic, but I was curious if I was misusing the term. Wikipedia says that in the US, "the term Member of Congress applies to members of both houses, the terms Congressman and Congresswoman usually refer only to members of the House of Representatives."

I have heard that, but I've never really noticed it. Your usage is probably more correct.
