Voting analysis
Two of the five bills listed under J. Hill's name concern historically Black colleges and universities — one on excellence, one on research capacity. A third would fund the assessment of a historic house. He chairs the Financial Services Committee, and finance does lead his classified subjects by a distance, so these three are not the record; they are the part of the record that does not follow from the job.
Of the 50 most recent of those, 49 currently sit at Introduced.
Sponsored bills carry the Congressional Research Service's own subject classification. J. Hill's cluster into: Finance and Financial Sector (18), International Affairs (13), Public Lands and Natural Resources (4), Taxation (4), Commerce (2), Education (2).
International affairs sit second among his subjects, a strong showing for a member whose committee is domestic finance, and the remaining named filings — a capital access measure for small business, and a protection act — return to the committee's own ground.
Chair and ranking member, both here
The Californian who leads the minority on his committee also has a page on this site. Her departures are refusals on retail crime and foreign policy; his are procedural votes and consumer bills. The two records are a reasonable picture of what a committee's two poles look like when neither is especially rebellious.
Where he broke ranks
Three amendment votes, all lost. Two completed bills he opposed and his conference passed — daylight saving and fuel retailing. And a rotorcraft safety measure he supported that failed.
