Voting analysis

Adriano Espaillat is ranking member of the appropriations subcommittee that funds Congress itself, the minority-side counterpart to a California Republican who chairs it. Then he voted against the year's consolidated spending act. A member who negotiates one title of a package and rejects the package is a common enough figure in appropriations, but it is worth naming when it happens.

The rest of the departures

He declined a daylight saving measure, a children's online safety act and a retail crime bill, all three of which passed anyway. Going the other direction he backed a war powers resolution and a fuel retailing bill, neither of which succeeded, and voted for one amendment his caucus did not want.
