I looked up my great-great-uncle's scores from Americans for Democratic Action (ADA) when he represented Ohio's 10th district. They're a liberal interest group so a lower score indicates a more conservative voting record.

1963 - 0%
1964 - 8%

He got 8% in 1964 because he voted in favor of the Civil Rights Act. (FF!)

What was his name and political party if I might ask?.
