Voting analysis
Delia Ramirez's departures are overwhelmingly refusals, and several are on measures that pass with very large margins — the kind most members treat as unopposable.
Voting no on the near-unanimous
She opposed a resolution memorialising law enforcement officers killed in the line of duty, a resolution on Iran, an organised retail crime bill, a military construction and veterans appropriations bill, community bank deposit access, a shrimping measure and a daylight saving bill — all carried by the House with most Democrats supporting them.
Two run outward: she supported a war powers resolution and a fuel retailing bill her caucus did not. This page records what the roll calls show and does not supply reasons; commemorative and messaging resolutions in particular are sometimes opposed for what is attached to them rather than for what they commemorate, and the vote alone does not distinguish the two.
