Voting analysis
Jodey Arrington chairs the House Budget Committee, and most of his departures are votes against bills that spend or authorise money — which is either the job showing through or an awkward position for the member who writes the budget resolution, depending on where you sit.
Voting down his own side's bills
He opposed a children's online safety bill, an emergency conservation programme improvement, an arts measure, a battlefield protection amendments act and a fuel retailing bill — all passed by the House with Republicans behind them. The conservation measure appears twice in his record because the same policy reached the floor in two separate vehicles and he voted against both.
The remaining departures are amendment votes running in both directions on two spending bills.
