BTW how conservative was Stanford Parris?
He served 12 years in total. He was in the class of 1972, but lost his seat as a freshman due to Watergate. He then came back in 1980 and defeated the same man (Herb Harris).
His ACU ratings were:
1973-92; 1974-67
1981-93; 1982-67; 1983-80; 1984-79; 1985-67; 1986-83; 1987-82; 1988-96; 1989-75; 1990-83.
Average was 80.3. Overall, probably about on par with seatmate Frank Wolf’s lifetime average (though they would switch off from year to year with their votes, sometime Parris was more to the right, sometimes Wolf).
