Voting analysis
Jerrold Nadler has served since the start of the nineteen-nineties, longer than all but a few members on this site, and is ranking member of a judiciary subcommittee covering the administrative state, regulatory reform and antitrust.
First elected in 1991, now serving across 18 terms. Jerrold Nadler falls in the veteran cohort.
None of them about the judiciary
What is striking about his three departures is the subject matter, or rather its absence. A member identified for decades with constitutional and judiciary questions broke with his caucus on daylight saving time, on fuel retailing, and on a retail theft bill. Nothing in the list touches the work he is known for. On the questions where he has the most standing, he and his caucus agreed.
