Voting analysis
Cleo Fields was first elected in the early nineteen-nineties and holds three terms. That is the largest gap between a first election and a term count anywhere on this site — a seat held, given up, and taken again a very long time afterwards. Every figure on this page runs across both stretches as though they were continuous, which for a break of this length is worth flagging rather than leaving to arithmetic.
First elected in 1993, now serving across 3 terms. Cleo Fields falls in the veteran cohort.
Two disapprovals
Two of his filings move against the consumer bureau's withdrawal of its own rules — one on revoking or worsening the terms of credit somebody already has, one on how the ability-to-repay requirement applies to people who inherit a mortgage. Both concern what happens to a borrower after the arrangement is already in place, which is where the protections are thinnest.
He is one of only three members here to file two of those resolutions. Finance tops his classified subjects accordingly.
Of the 17 most recent of those, 17 currently sit at Introduced.
Sponsored bills carry the Congressional Research Service's own subject classification. Cleo Fields's cluster into: Finance and Financial Sector (7), Taxation (4), Agriculture and Food (1), Commerce (1), Crime and Law Enforcement (1), Economics and Public Finance (1).
The remaining bills cover flood insurance premium transparency, defence production procurement, and tax fairness for teachers.
Where he broke ranks
Three departures only: one amendment vote, and two crossings on a children's protection act and fuel retailing.
