Voting analysis
Health dominates Earl Carter's classified subjects by a factor of four over anything else, which is a sharper concentration than most pages here show. The named filings only partly reflect it — a health care freedom and choice act sits alongside a zero tolerance measure on political violence, a family forests bill, broadband deployment, and a law carrying a fire chief's name.
Sponsored bills carry the Congressional Research Service's own subject classification. Earl Carter's cluster into: Health (17), Taxation (4), Agriculture and Food (3), Crime and Law Enforcement (3), Government Operations and Politics (3), Immigration (3).
Of the 50 most recent of those, 47 currently sit at Introduced.
Where he broke ranks
Four amendment votes, two of which carried, and a rotorcraft safety measure he supported that failed. Three of the four amendments were attached to a single bill, where he voted against the conference twice and with a different faction once — the shape of a member working a text rather than opposing it.
