Voting analysis
One of Debbie Dingell's bills addresses dam and hydropower safety. There are tens of thousands of dams in the United States, a great many built before anyone was required to plan for their failure, and each sits above somewhere. Legislating on their inspection is the sort of work that produces no visible result unless it is not done.
Of the 50 most recent of those, 48 currently sit at Introduced.
Health tops her classified subjects. Two further filings concern disability — fairness in childhood disability benefits, and a savings programme for disabled people — and a third supports the long-term care workforce. A vehicle innovation measure completes the list, which for a Michigan seat is the expected entry rather than the surprising one.
Sponsored bills carry the Congressional Research Service's own subject classification. Debbie Dingell's cluster into: Health (16), Public Lands and Natural Resources (5), Armed Forces and National Security (3), Crime and Law Enforcement (3), Transportation and Public Works (3), Emergency Management (2).
Where she broke ranks
Five departures, four of them crossings — on war powers, wider veterans benefits, bail reporting and fuel retailing. One refusal, on a surveillance extension.
