Voting analysis

The rest of the filings

Restoring employment choice for adults with disabilities, ending discrimination in government contracting, fraud prevention workforce training, and streamlined foreign medical accreditation. Taxation leads the classification, though the bills themselves cluster around employment and administration.

Sponsored bills carry the Congressional Research Service's own subject classification. Glenn Grothman's cluster into: Taxation (10), Health (6), Economics and Public Finance (5), Environmental Protection (5), Education (3), Government Operations and Politics (3).

Where he broke ranks

Four are amendment votes across three vehicles, running in both directions. Five are completed bills he opposed at passage — daylight saving, battlefield protection, an emergency conservation programme, small business innovation and animal welfare — all of which his conference carried. Nothing links their subjects; what links them is that each was finished and he declined it.
