Voting analysis
The first item on Carol Miller's filing list would redesignate a playground inside a national park in honour of children affected by childhood cancer. Naming a playground is not policy in any measurable sense. It is a small act of public grief carried out through the only mechanism a legislature has, and it sits at the top of a list that otherwise runs to dialysis, small business growth and coal tax credits.
Of the 50 most recent of those, 49 currently sit at Introduced.
Health tops her classified subjects with taxation second. West Virginia sends two Republicans to the House, so the group figure below rests on a single colleague.
Sponsored bills carry the Congressional Research Service's own subject classification. Carol Miller's cluster into: Health (20), Taxation (13), Foreign Trade and International Finance (8), Crime and Law Enforcement (2), Government Operations and Politics (2), International Affairs (2).
Among the 2 Republicans in the West Virginia delegation, the average rate of voting against the party majority is 5.7%. Carol Miller is below that average at 3.0%.
Two access measures refused
Among her six departures are noes on two bills her conference passed: the territorial students' higher education measure, and a tribal trust land homeownership act. Both extend a facility to a population that does not currently have it, and both appear elsewhere on this site as Republican departures — the territorial students bill repeatedly so.
Her remaining four are amendment votes.
