Voting analysis

Health accounts for more of John Joyce's classified filings than the next four subjects combined — the heaviest single-subject concentration among House Republicans in this part of the ranking. He practised medicine before Congress and chairs the energy and commerce oversight subcommittee.

Sponsored bills carry the Congressional Research Service's own subject classification. John Joyce's cluster into: Health (29), Commerce (5), Environmental Protection (5), Science, Technology, Communications (4), Education (1), Energy (1).

The filings

Medicare payment for the services of radiologist assistants, a disapproval resolution aimed at a vehicle emissions waiver granted to California, a research act, a data security measure, and a dairy labelling bill. The medical and the industrial sit side by side, as they do in the district.

Where he broke ranks

Nearly all of it happened during amendment votes — seven on a defence authorisation alone, plus others on two further spending vehicles, mostly pressing changes his conference would not take. Only one departure is a completed bill: a marine conservation reauthorisation he opposed at passage. He was present for every roll call.
