Voting analysis

Two of George Latimer's filings are housing tax credits — one for mortgage interest, one for making homes accessible to older residents. Both work through the tax code rather than through a programme, which is the route available to a member with no committee gavel and a short first-term record: a credit needs no new agency and no appropriation.

Bills cosponsored

Of all 9, 9 currently sit at Introduced.

Taxation duly tops his classified subjects. The remaining bills cover administrative funding for a small business research programme and two carrying acronyms — one of which shares a title with a bill filed by a Massachusetts Democrat elsewhere on this site.

Sponsored bills carry the Congressional Research Service's own subject classification. George Latimer's cluster into: Taxation (2), Commerce (1), Energy (1), Government Operations and Politics (1), Health (1), International Affairs (1).

Where he broke ranks

Eight departures, evenly split. Three refusals, including a children's online safety act and a second war powers resolution his caucus supported. Three crossings, on a main street economic bill, a police support resolution and fuel retailing. Two amendment votes.
