How these are computed ↓Deterministic breakdowns of Janet Testerman’s published record — not a score or a rating. Raw counts are always shown; a percentage appears only once there are at least 10 votes. As of the meeting of September 29, 2026 — the newest published record.

How these breakdowns are computed
Every figure on this page is a deterministic computation over Janet Testerman’s published roll-call votes on City of Knoxville, TN City Council — the same record set behind the vote table below. Nothing is a composite score, a grade, or a ranking. The general pipeline (sources, extraction, gates, review) is described on the methodology page.
- Votes by topic. Each published motion is attributed to every distinct neutral topic its agenda items carry — the primary subject and any secondary tags alike, so an item counts under every topic it’s about (and a consent-calendar motion covering several items counts under each); procedural items are excluded, as in the default vote browser. Aye/No/Abstain are counts of Janet Testerman’s own vote. A percentage is shown only when the topic has at least 10 votes. Body median is the median of the Aye and No tallies across the same motion set — the typical room split on that topic.
- Attendance & dissent over time. Bucketed by the calendar year of each meeting. Attendance = votes where Janet Testerman was recorded present (not absent or recused) ÷ total votes that year; the percentage is shown only when the year has at least 10 votes. Dissents = “No” votes on motions the body adopted anyway. The denominators for every year are in the table above.
- Term timeline & election markers. The two trend strips plot the yearly attendance and dissent figures above on a single time axis spanning Janet Testerman’s full term (Dec 21, 2019–Dec 16, 2023). The vertical lines mark public election-calendar dates — candidate-filing deadlines, primaries, and general elections — that fall within that span, each labeled with its date and type. Those dates are a matter of public record ; the timeline itself makes no claim about them. It marks the dates and draws the line; any pattern near an election is the reader’s to notice, not ours to assert.
- Agreement with other members. Computed over contested votes only — motions where the roll call recorded at least one Aye and at least one No. For each colleague, the record set is the split motions where both cast an Aye or No (their seated overlap); “voted the same” counts the motions they cast the identical value on. A percentage is shown only when that shared set reaches 10 votes. Unanimous votes are excluded on purpose: they would launder everyone into near-total agreement.
- Motions made & seconded. Straight counts of published motions where Janet Testerman is recorded as the mover or the seconder in the minutes, grouped by the motion’s neutral topic(s).
Campaign finance
Reproduced from Janet Testerman’s own campaign-finance disclosures — a public record. Amounts are the totals stated on each filing, or the itemized schedule where the filing’s own totals are not machine-readable; each row links to the filed document. We add nothing the filing does not state.
| Report | Raised | Spent | Filed |
|---|---|---|---|
| mid year City Council at Large Seat B as of Jul 31, 2026 | Filed — figures not yet machine-readable | easyvote — mid year → | |
| Campaign Financial Disclosure City Council at Large Seat B as of Feb 12, 2026 | Filed — reported no money raised or spent | easyvote — Campaign Financial Disclosure → | |
| Campaign Financial Disclosure City Council at Large Seat B as of Sep 10, 2025 | Filed — reported no money raised or spent | easyvote — Campaign Financial Disclosure → | |
| Campaign Financial Disclosure City Council at Large Seat B as of Feb 7, 2025 | Filed — reported no money raised or spent | easyvote — Campaign Financial Disclosure → | |

The county’s structured data does not carry the itemized schedule for the mid year report, so individual contributors and payees are not listed here. The filing itself lists them — follow its source link above.
Totals are the sum of the itemized contribution and expenditure schedules as disclosed. Schedules are itemized only at or above the filing threshold; sub-threshold amounts and the filer’s stated cover-page totals are not part of this structured record, so they are not shown here rather than guessed.
Disclosed interests
Reprinted from Janet Testerman’s annual Statement of Interests (Form SS-8005) — a public record filed with the Tennessee Ethics Commission. Entity names and categories exactly as filed, for the official and spouse; the form states no dollar amounts, and neither do we. Each filing links to its source.
Appointments moved
Board and committee appointments Janet Testerman moved or seconded, as recorded in the minutes. Each links to the full decision, where the complete roll call is shown.
