Voting analysis
Three of the five bills on Jim Jordan's list are about speech. A free speech protection act, and a protect speech act appearing twice for two different Congresses. He chairs the Judiciary Committee, so the subject falls inside his jurisdiction, and the repetition is the ordinary signal of a measure refiled after it died.
Of the 38 most recent of those, 38 currently sit at Introduced.
Contempt, on a clock
The fourth is more mechanical and more consequential. It would require a United States attorney to put a contempt of Congress certification before a grand jury within a fixed number of days of receiving it from the Speaker or the Senate's presiding officer. At present the decision to prosecute a contempt referral rests with the executive branch, which can decline. The bill removes that discretion and replaces it with a deadline.
Whatever one makes of it, it is a bill about the balance between two branches written by the member who chairs the committee where such questions land. The fifth entry is a welfare reform act carrying a date from more than a decade ago, which shows how far back the filing record reaches.
Sponsored bills carry the Congressional Research Service's own subject classification. Jim Jordan's cluster into: Government Operations and Politics (7), Crime and Law Enforcement (5), Congress (4), Economics and Public Finance (4), Health (4), Social Welfare (4).
Where he broke ranks
Four amendment votes, of which one carried, and a single completed bill he opposed while his conference passed it. His filed total is small for ten terms of service.
