Voting analysis

One of Adelita Grijalva's bills would preserve a named historic district as a traditional cultural place. Designations of that kind protect ground whose significance is ceremonial rather than architectural — there may be nothing built on it — and they exist because the ordinary tests for historic preservation were written around structures.

Bills cosponsored

Of all 11, 11 currently sit at Introduced.

Native American affairs lead her classified subjects, which almost no other page on this site can say. A second filing addresses child abuse prevention for indigenous communities. The rest cover extinction prevention, visas and protection for veterans, and restoration of a disability income programme. Her filed total is small, which a first term explains.

Sponsored bills carry the Congressional Research Service's own subject classification. Adelita Grijalva's cluster into: Native Americans (2), Civil Rights and Liberties, Minority Issues (1), Congress (1), Education (1), Environmental Protection (1), Families (1).

Where she broke ranks

Eight refusals, two crossings. The refusals track the left-flank package recorded across these pages, with one addition worth noting: she voted against the resolution directing the ethics committee to preserve and publish records. That measure has drawn noes from both parties on this site, which makes it one of the few genuinely non-partisan splits in the data.
