Who is the most libertarian member of the United States Senate?

According to the Republican Liberty Caucus in 2024, there are two.

Founded in 1991, the Republican Liberty Caucus (RLC) publishes its Liberty Index scorecard, choosing what it calls “20 pivotal bills/votes from 2024 that either advance liberty or diminish liberty” to grade Republican members of Congress.

Government funding. Foreign aid. Free speech. Warrantless surveillance. National Defense Authorization Act. Each of these issues and more were voted on in various ways in 2024, and for each there was one particular liberty position.

Last year, Senators Rand Paul and Mike Lee both received perfect scores.
