Voting analysis
Brian Mast chairs the Foreign Affairs Committee. Two of his five displayed filings are foreign policy measures — a military financing loan authorisation, and a direction to the State Department on certain matters. The other three are not: maximum contaminant levels in infant formula, a waiver of fuel volatility requirements for a single year, and the renaming of a Florida airport after a President.
Of the 50 most recent of those, 42 currently sit at Introduced.
The infant formula bill has a counterpart on this site. A California Democrat filed a measure directing the same regulator to rewrite the rules on drinks sold for infants and toddlers. Neither member sits on a health committee. What babies are given to consume turns out to be a subject that reaches members regardless of assignment.
Water in the top five
Defence leads his classified subjects and international affairs follow, which the gavel explains. Water resources development sitting third does not — it is a heading that rarely surfaces on this site at all, and it points at a district problem rather than a committee one.
Sponsored bills carry the Congressional Research Service's own subject classification. Brian Mast's cluster into: Armed Forces and National Security (16), International Affairs (12), Water Resources Development (5), Government Operations and Politics (3), Crime and Law Enforcement (2), Public Lands and Natural Resources (2).
Where he broke ranks
All five departures are amendment votes. Two carried and three failed. Not one completed bill appears, which for a full committee chairman is the expected result — the disagreements happen while text is being written and stop once it is.
