Voting analysis
Three of the five filings displayed under Jennifer Kiggans's name are about nursing. A preceptor measure, and a bill declaring nursing a professional degree, which appears twice on the list. That is most of a legislative record spent on the classification and training of one profession — a level of concentration that reads as personal rather than assigned.
Of the 50 most recent of those, 47 currently sit at Introduced.
Defence dominates her classified subjects, well ahead of health, and she chairs the oversight and investigations subcommittee at Veterans' Affairs — which accounts for the ordering without quite accounting for the nursing bills. The fifth filing is about state boating fees.
Sponsored bills carry the Congressional Research Service's own subject classification. Jennifer Kiggans's cluster into: Armed Forces and National Security (22), Health (7), Taxation (6), Public Lands and Natural Resources (3), Transportation and Public Works (3), Government Operations and Politics (2).
The Ukraine crossing
She voted for a Ukraine support act against her conference's position. Two other Republicans on this site — one from Colorado, one from Washington state — made the same crossing, and both of them paired it with a vote to terminate a presidential national emergency. She did not take that second one. Whatever the seam is, she is on the far side of part of it and not all of it.
The other five
Amendment votes, every one of them failed, and in each she was a no while the conference was a yes.
