TenureThe Lugar Center, a nonprofit organization led by former U.S. senator Richard Lugar, and the McCourt School of Public Policy of Georgetown University, developed a "Bipartisan Index" that assigned scores to almost all members of Congress, using an algorithm based on their sponsorship of bills that drew co-sponsors from the other party, and on their co-sponsorship of bills introduced by members of the other party. In the 2015 session of Congress, scores for members of the House of Representatives ranged from a low of -2.07 to a high of 1.88. Ashford's rating was 0.78, the 34th-highest of the 438 House members who were rated.[16] For the full 114th United States Congress, Ashford was ranked as the 14th-most bipartisan member of the U.S. House of Representatives and the most bipartisan member of the U.S. House of Representatives from Nebraska.[17] Personal lifeAshford is married to Ann Ferlic Ashford.
