Sinema appears to still be caucusing with the Democrats (e.g. she still holds her committee positions, she likely voted in the Dem caucus leadership elections for the 118th Congress), so as far as her membership in Congress goes, it doesn't appear that anything at all has changed. Her personal party

Do you mean the chart in the "Party Summary" section? Those charts are meant to show which party has the majority and which other parties caucus with them. You'll notice in the Senate's box, the Republicans are colored before January 20, and the Democrats and Independents are both colored blue after
853:
I see that this page to be edited to say that Kyrsten Sinema is caucusing with the Democrats, but in her announcement she said that she won't be attending Democrat caucus meetings like the other 2 independent senators who are now in the Senate. Therefore she should be labeled as an independent, not
1020:
Should we go by when she announced her switch, or should we go by when her registration officially changes? I think for the "major events" section, we could list the day she changed her registration, but for the "party summary" section, we should go by official registration. What do y'all think?
1141:
Generally speaking, the article for each Congress does not seem to provide subjective commentary on the productivity of that Congress. I note two exceptions: the article for the 115th Congress--the last Republican trifecta, which is noted to have been unproductive--and the article for the 117th
1114:
Thanks. I've updated the party composition map, but there's still a couple things that need to be tidied up. If she does indeed change her Senate registration at the start of the 118th Congress, we should move that part of the footnote to the "start of the next congress" row, and list her as an

announced her party switch on December 9, but her party affiliation actually hasn't been updated on senate.gov yet. Does this mean she is still technically a registered Democrat in the Senate? If so, I think we should hold off on showing it on the page until it actually officially changes. On

January 20, because the majority caucus changed on that day. The House chart is blue all the way through because Democrats have controlled the House throughout the entire 117th Congress, as well as at the end of the 116th Congress.

registration with Arizona for the 2024 elections has no direct bearing on her service in Congress. In past cases, the legislator actually changed who they caucused with, I believe. I would recommend reverting this.
1078:, after he won re-election as an Independent. Thoughts? I personally believe that the page should not show Sinema as having switched parties unless she has changed her official registration in the U.S. Senate. 1285: 1062:, would we change the page to reflect that? This page is about the 117th Congress, not Sinema herself, so I think that the page should reflect party registration in the Senate. The page for the 909: 1295: 558: 1040:: Thanks for digging into it. It looks like you are correct. She is still a Democrat in the Senate, as that party identification is separate from your local state party identification. 147: 1074:, even though his page lists his party switch as taking place in "2006," which is during the 109th Congress. Senate.gov also lists Lieberman as a Democrat until the beginning of the 1300: 481: 1290: 1255: 44: 1325: 693: 498: 719: 688: 586: 1330: 1320: 1280: 1265: 1017:
Both of these latter votes took place on the day they announced their switch, and they show them having officially switched, but Sinema apparently still has not.

section? It was already done by someone, until I hidden it pending a discussion, because technically, party switches aren't changes in membership.

Oh I did that, based on past precedent (see Arlen Specter in the 111th Congress, Paul Mitchell and Justin Amash in the 116th Congress, etc.).

Oh ok alright, I'm sorry. I'll add her per past precedence, though I'm personally not convinced that they should be added.
