Voting analysis

One of Gwen Moore's bills would stop child protective services separating children from their parents solely on the basis of poverty. That single word — solely — is the whole provision. Neglect and material hardship look identical in a case file, and a system with no instruction to distinguish them will remove children for being poor while recording it as something else.

290
Bills sponsored
6218
Bills cosponsored

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

A second filing addresses the supply and affordability of child care, including care provided in homes. Taxation tops her classified subjects with health second, and her sponsored total is among the larger ones counted here. The remaining bills cover parity for veterans' surviving spouses and protection for mothers facing domestic violence.

Sponsored bills carry the Congressional Research Service's own subject classification. Gwen Moore's cluster into: Taxation (15), Health (12), Agriculture and Food (3), Education (3), Families (3), Social Welfare (3).

Where she broke ranks

Nine departures, six of them refusals on measures her caucus supported — including a children's online safety act, a surveillance extension and the year's spending package, all of which passed. Three crossings, on war powers, bail reporting and fuel retailing.
