Voting analysis

Eric Crawford chairs the intelligence committee, and two of his filings are the intelligence authorisation bill and a measure extending the surveillance authorities under the foreign intelligence statute. That second one matters for reading the rest of this site. The surveillance extension that turns up as a refusal on a long list of Democratic pages here carries the same title, word for word, as the bill he filed.

1613
Bills cosponsored

Of the 50 most recent of those, 47 currently sit at Introduced.

The other three

A parity measure for the intelligence community's inspector general, a bill changing the statutory definition of food in the nutrition assistance programme, and a water flows act. Transportation still leads his classified subjects, which reflects his other post — vice chair of the full Transportation and Infrastructure Committee — rather than anything on this recent list.

Sponsored bills carry the Congressional Research Service's own subject classification. Eric Crawford's cluster into: Transportation and Public Works (12), Armed Forces and National Security (9), Environmental Protection (6), Agriculture and Food (5), Crime and Law Enforcement (3), Finance and Financial Sector (3).

Where he broke ranks

Three amendment votes. Then four completed measures on which he was out of step: he opposed daylight saving, fuel retailing, another bill his conference carried, and the resolution directing the ethics committee to preserve records and make them public. All four passed without him.

The ethics vote sits close to his committee work. A member who chairs the panel handling the government's secrets voting against a disclosure resolution is a coherent position rather than a surprising one, though the record only shows the vote.
