Voting analysis
Dan Crenshaw is away from the House floor more often than all but a dozen or so of his colleagues.
That count describes attendance and offers no explanation for it. What it does affect is the rest of this page, all of which is drawn from the votes he was recorded on.
One bill, argued in both directions
Four of his five departures come out of the amendment process on a single bill, and he took no consistent side inside it: twice he voted no while his party voted yes, twice he voted yes while his party voted no. All four of those amendments failed. The remaining departure is another amendment on another bill, which also failed.
