Voting analysis
Water resources development leads Dan Newhouse's classified filings. Almost no one on this site has that category at the top — it is a narrow heading covering dams, irrigation, river works and the federal plumbing of a landscape. For a district built on moving water onto dry ground, it is the least surprising result imaginable, and it is still worth noting how rarely the category surfaces at all.
Sponsored bills carry the Congressional Research Service's own subject classification. Dan Newhouse's cluster into: Water Resources Development (7), Agriculture and Food (5), Government Operations and Politics (5), Energy (4), Environmental Protection (4), Health (4).
Two substantive crossings
He voted for a Ukraine support act and for terminating a national emergency the President had declared, and on both his conference went the other way. Those are the two votes on his record that carry weight beyond procedure, and both of them concern the limits of executive power and the direction of American commitment abroad.
A Colorado Republican in these pages made the identical pair of crossings. Two members, different states, the same two departures — which suggests the votes marked a real seam inside the conference rather than an individual quirk.
The other five
Four amendment votes, all lost, and a daylight saving measure he opposed while it passed.

Tribes, orchards, towers
He chairs the forestry and horticulture subcommittee at Agriculture. Two of his filings concern tribal government — law enforcement parity, and rural health access for military and tribal families. One would meet demand for organic produce, one keeps public lands from foreign adversarial ownership, and one names an air traffic control tower.
Of the 50 most recent of those, 49 currently sit at Introduced.
