Voting analysis
David Rouzer chairs the highways and transit subcommittee and is vice chair of an agriculture subcommittee on commodities and risk management. His filings sit almost entirely in the gap between those two: water, storms, and the infrastructure that fails when weather arrives.
Sponsored bills carry the Congressional Research Service's own subject classification. David Rouzer's cluster into: Emergency Management (8), Environmental Protection (8), Transportation and Public Works (5), Crime and Law Enforcement (4), Immigration (3), Public Lands and Natural Resources (3).
The filings
Clean water access, a primary care measure, protection of proprietary information held by the commodities regulator, a storm preparedness act, and shipping safety along the Atlantic coast. Emergency management and environmental protection tie for the leading classified subject, which is a fair summary of a coastal district that floods.
Of the 50 most recent of those, 47 currently sit at Introduced.
Where he broke ranks
Once. He opposed an amendment that his conference supported and that failed regardless. A single departure across more than two hundred comparable votes leaves very little to interpret.
