Voting analysis

Gabe Vasquez voted for a continuing appropriations measure his caucus voted against. Keeping the government funded is the vote that most reliably separates members who represent competitive districts from those who do not, because the cost of a shutdown is felt locally and the argument against the deal is made nationally.

Rank among House Democrats, most defections first

The rest of his departures run the same way: yes on fraud prevention, on a resolution against defrauding the government, on a bill ending aid for students never enrolled, on wider veterans benefits, on a firearms protection measure for veterans, on cashless bail reporting, on a disabled workers bill and on a main street economic act. All passed. None had his caucus behind it.

Chile, herds, careworkers

His filings are unusually rooted. One carries the name of a crop grown in his state. Another protects herds. A third would create a visa category for care workers — an immigration bill framed around a labour shortage rather than around enforcement, which is a distinct and less common way to write one.
