Michigan's Congress members ranked by biblical values in 2026 report
A new report has ranked members of Congress based on their alignment with 'biblically based principles'. The 2026 Congressional Biblical Business Index analysed over 82,000 votes from all 535 lawmakers. Its aim is to help faith-based employers assess political and regulatory conditions across the US. Michigan’s 15-member delegation—comprising seven Republicans and eight Democrats—showed mixed results in the latest index. The highest score in the state went to U.S. Rep. Tom Barrett, who achieved 84.62%. Meanwhile, U.S. Rep. Kristen McDonald Rivet led Michigan’s Democrats with a score of 19.38%.
Some Democrats, such as U.S. Rep. Haley Stevens, saw their scores improve compared to 2024. However, several Republican members experienced declines. At the lower end, U.S. Rep. Debbie Dingell scored 4.07%, while U.S. Rep. Rashida Tlaib received the delegation’s lowest mark at 2.26%. The index evaluated lawmakers on key issues, including abortion, gender identity, and economic policy. Each score reflects how closely a representative’s voting record aligns with the report’s interpretation of biblical values.
The findings provide a snapshot of how Michigan’s delegation compares on faith-based policy alignment. For employers with religious values, the report offers a tool to gauge political trends. The next index will likely track further shifts in voting behaviour among state representatives.
