Here's the list rated on their degree of liberalism by National Journal. The number at the left of their name shows where they rank among 435 House members; the number following their name is the composite liberal rating awarded by National Journal:

1st: Mel Watt, 95.2 (tied with the likes of Henry Waxman and Linda Sanchez, and ahead of Barney Frank).
35th: David Price, 88.7
88th: G.K. Butterfield, 79.0
