Voting analysis
Two of Brittany Pettersen's five filings are about the mountain pine beetle — one a coordination act, one an emergency response. An insect the size of a grain of rice has killed forests across millions of acres of the mountain west, and the dead standing timber it leaves is what a later wildfire burns. Two more of her bills are about that fire: research coordination, and protection for the people sent to fight it.
Four of five filings tracing one causal chain, from the beetle to the fuel to the flame to the firefighter, is as coherent as a legislative record gets on these pages.
Of the 50 most recent of those, 50 currently sit at Introduced.
Sponsored bills carry the Congressional Research Service's own subject classification. Brittany Pettersen's cluster into: Taxation (8), Crime and Law Enforcement (6), Finance and Financial Sector (6), Health (6), Water Resources Development (4), Public Lands and Natural Resources (3).
Where she broke ranks
Five departures, four of them refusals on measures her caucus supported — retail crime, a surveillance extension, the ethics records resolution and the year's spending package. All four passed. One amendment vote completes it.
