Voting analysis
Jill Tokuda's first listed bill is titled for keeping farmland with farmers. It belongs to a family of legislation that has been appearing more often — measures about who is permitted to own a productive asset, as against who can afford to bid for it. A Washington Democrat on this site filed the housing version of the same argument, aimed at hedge funds buying homes.
Different asset, identical structure: the concern is not the price but the identity of the buyer, and the remedy is a restriction on ownership rather than a subsidy for the people being outbid.
Of the 50 most recent of those, 47 currently sit at Introduced.
The island portfolio
Agriculture tops her classified subjects, which her committee post accounts for — she leads the minority on conservation, research and biotechnology, whose Oklahoma Republican chairman is also written up here. The other filings cover rural hospitals, tariff-free farming, an elections measure, and the naming of a post office after a former member of this chamber.
Sponsored bills carry the Congressional Research Service's own subject classification. Jill Tokuda's cluster into: Agriculture and Food (12), Health (6), Native Americans (6), Government Operations and Politics (5), Armed Forces and National Security (3), Crime and Law Enforcement (3).
Where she broke ranks
Three refusals, on a daylight saving measure, a children's online safety act and a surveillance extension — all three passed. One crossing, on a war powers resolution that failed.
