Life phases1
One octagon for each phase of the life of Frank Pallone Jr.. Each of the eight axes is scored 0 to 5 against a written rubric from documented evidence, with its source; an axis without evidence is a gap, not a zero. There is no total and no ideal shape: it is a profile, not a ranking. Appearance and personality are not axes, because they cannot be scored from evidence.
OverviewGenerated from documented data: the office held, income against IRS percentiles, the highest recorded degree, and the reviewed legal record. Axes with no documented evidence are left out.
No total and no ideal shape: a longer spoke means more of that axis, so a long Misconduct spoke is more documented misconduct.

CHIPRA extended and expanded public coverage for low-income children. The closest causal evidence is Hendren and Sprung-Keyser (NBER WP 26144; QJE 2020), who estimate that four major child Medicaid expansions repaid their initial cost and returned an extra 78 cents per dollar to the government through higher later tax revenue and lower transfers (an infinite MVPF); CHIP itself is not separately estimated.
