Voting analysis
The last entry on Brett Guthrie's filing list carries the same title as the children's online safety act — the measure that turns up on a long row of Democratic pages across this site as a refusal, declined by a particular set of members while most of their own caucus voted for it. He chairs Energy and Commerce, which is the committee such a bill moves through.
Worth setting beside that: the Californian who leads the minority on his own communications and technology subcommittee is among the members who voted against it. A measure can clear the floor comfortably and still be refused by the senior member of the panel it most concerns.
Of the 50 most recent of those, 45 currently sit at Introduced.
Health on top
Health leads his classified subjects by a wide margin, and the rest of the named list stays close to the committee: a costs and transparency measure, a brownfields revitalisation act, a streamlining bill, and one carrying an acronym. The New Jersey Democrat who is the committee's ranking member also has a page here.
Sponsored bills carry the Congressional Research Service's own subject classification. Brett Guthrie's cluster into: Health (20), Science, Technology, Communications (6), Commerce (4), Energy (3), Foreign Trade and International Finance (3), Education (2).
Six amendment votes and nothing else
His entire departure record is procedural. Six amendment votes, in every one of which he was a no against a conference yes; five failed and one carried. He never parted from his party on a bill that reached final passage.
