Voting analysis

Elizabeth Warren is ranking member of the Senate banking committee and sits ex officio on each of its subcommittees — the widest minority-side reach of any member covered here. Her defections are consistently to the left of her caucus rather than across it.

Refusing the settlement

She voted against bills her caucus helped pass and against the cloture motions that carried them there, and supported amendments — including from the chamber's leading democratic socialist — that the Senate rejected. None of this moves toward the Republican position. It is a record of declining to ratify deals her own side had accepted.

The steadier of the Massachusetts pair

Both Massachusetts seats are held by Democrats, and the state's internal average is raised by her colleague, who departs more often. Warren falls below that delegation figure despite ranking high in the caucus overall.

Among the 2 Democrats in the Massachusetts delegation, the average rate of voting against the party majority is 9.3%. Elizabeth Warren is below that average at 9.1%.

Committee reach and filings

Beyond banking she is ranking member on an armed services personnel subcommittee. Her bills are narrower than her public profile implies: the Fair Seeds for Farmers Act, an accreditation reform measure, a tribal public health preparedness bill, and a joint resolution directing the Federal Trade Commission to investigate anticompetitive conduct in fire truck manufacturing — an unusually specific antitrust target.

Sponsored bills carry the Congressional Research Service's own subject classification. Elizabeth Warren's cluster into: Commerce (2), Health (2), Armed Forces and National Security (1), Education (1).

908
Bills sponsored
4406

Of the 8 most recent of those, 8 currently sit at Introduced.

Tenure and attendance

Warren has served since the early twenty-tens, placing her among the chamber's veterans, under one party label. She is present for nearly every vote.

First elected in 2013, now serving across 7 terms. Elizabeth Warren falls in the veteran cohort.
