Voting analysis

David Joyce chairs the appropriations subcommittee on financial services and general government, and one of his displayed filings is that subcommittee's own annual appropriations bill. Members rarely appear on this site as the sponsor of the spending measure they are responsible for writing; the chairmanship and the filing are the same job showing up twice.

1840

Of the 50 most recent of those, 47 currently sit at Introduced.

Where he broke ranks

Two clusters. The first is a run of amendment votes across two spending vehicles where he voted no against his conference every time — an appropriator declining changes to bills he has a hand in. The second is substantive and public: he supported a labour contracts bill, the resolution bringing it to the floor, and a Ukraine support bill, each against most Republicans.

Above the Ohio Republicans

Ohio returns a sizeable Republican group to the House whose internal average is already elevated, and Joyce is above it.

Among the 10 Republicans in the Ohio delegation, the average rate of voting against the party majority is 5.4%. David Joyce is above that average at 6.6%.

The rest of the filings

Crime and law enforcement lead the classification. Alongside the appropriations bill sit a banking measure for state-legal cannabis businesses — an unusual bill for a Republican to lead — a pearl act, a resolution honouring the Army Nurse Corps on its anniversary, and a ports investment measure.

Sponsored bills carry the Congressional Research Service's own subject classification. David Joyce's cluster into: Crime and Law Enforcement (13), Health (7), Armed Forces and National Security (4), Environmental Protection (4), Immigration (4), Education (3).

Tenure and attendance

He reached the House in the last decade's early years, which places him among the veterans here, and a modest share of roll calls pass without him.

First elected in 2013, now serving across 7 terms. David Joyce falls in the veteran cohort.
