Voting analysis

Two of Jake Ellzey's five displayed filings are ceremonial. One designates a national parade; the other would permit the remains of any Medal of Honor recipient to lie in honour in the Capitol rotunda. Neither spends money or changes anyone's obligations. They are acts of commemoration passed as law because commemoration at that scale requires one.

Sponsored bills carry the Congressional Research Service's own subject classification. Jake Ellzey's cluster into: Health (3), Armed Forces and National Security (2), Commerce (1), Congress (1), Government Operations and Politics (1), Immigration (1).

Two gavels and no bills to match

He is vice chair of defence appropriations and chairman of the small business panel for rural development, energy and supply chains. Neither post shows up in the filing list at all. For a member with this few bills that is less a gap than a consequence: five slots cannot represent two committees and a district.

Where he broke ranks

Five amendment votes, all failed, and a rotorcraft safety bill he supported that also failed. Nothing he departed on succeeded.
