Voting analysis
Two of Emilia Sykes's five filings are tax cuts. One is titled as an instruction to lower your taxes; the other would exempt overtime pay from tax for all workers. Neither framing is what a reader arrives at a Democratic page expecting, and both are stated here because the filing record says so.
Of the 50 most recent of those, 49 currently sit at Introduced.
Crime and taxation tie at the head of her classified subjects, with science third — she leads the minority on the science committee's investigations and oversight panel. The remaining bills cover emergency responders, a cooling measure, and quantum computing applied to health.
Sponsored bills carry the Congressional Research Service's own subject classification. Emilia Sykes's cluster into: Crime and Law Enforcement (8), Taxation (8), Science, Technology, Communications (7), Transportation and Public Works (6), Armed Forces and National Security (4), Health (4).
The same bill twice, the same answer twice
The fuel retailing measure reached the floor on two occasions and she voted yes on both, with her caucus voting no on both. It passed once and failed once. Her position never moved and neither did theirs; only the outcome changed.
Two other members on this site show that bill twice on their records and answered differently the second time. She did not, which is the less interesting story and the more common one.
The other two
An amendment vote, and a daylight saving measure she opposed while her caucus carried it.

| H.R.8595 On Agreeing to the Amendment roll call 243 | Jul 15, 2026 | Failed | No (party: Yea) |
