Voting analysis

Brandon Gill is a first-term member with no committee assignment recorded in this data and the highest departure count of any Republican written up on this site — several times the rate of his own state delegation. Those two facts sit oddly together. Members who break with their conference this often are usually senior enough to absorb the cost, or committed to a faction that supplies cover. He is neither, so far as this page can tell.

What he votes against

The departures are not procedural. He voted no on a children's online safety act, a housing act, a marine conservation reauthorisation and a fuel retailing bill — all measures his conference carried. Alongside those sit a run of amendment votes, several attached to the same spending measure.

The pattern is one-directional. Where most high-departure records mix crossings and refusals, his are almost entirely noes against bills his own side passed. That is a position to the right of the conference rather than away from it.
