Voting analysis
Joyce Beatty is one of a run of members on this site to file a resolution disapproving the consumer bureau's withdrawal of one of its own rules. Hers targets the retirement of a bulletin on lending discrimination. Among the others: a California Democrat who leads the minority on the full committee, and an Illinois Democrat who leads it on financial institutions, aiming at credit reporting and data security.
Several members, one committee, the same instrument pointed the same unusual way. The disapproval mechanism was built to kill regulations; used like this it kills the killing of them. Once is a tactic. Repeated across a committee's minority, it is a position.
Of the 50 most recent of those, 50 currently sit at Introduced.
A single-subject record
Finance accounts for a commanding share of her classified filings — more than her next four subjects combined. She is ranking member on the panel covering national security, illicit finance and international financial institutions, which is the enforcement end of the same field.
Sponsored bills carry the Congressional Research Service's own subject classification. Joyce Beatty's cluster into: Finance and Financial Sector (25), Housing and Community Development (5), Education (4), Health (4), Families (2), International Affairs (2).
The other named bills cover private-sector outreach on defence production, community protection, women's heart health, and one carrying an acronym.
Where she broke ranks
Three yeses her caucus withheld, all of which passed: cashless bail reporting, fuel retailing, and funding for police de-escalation training. One no it wanted, on organised retail crime, which passed anyway. And one amendment vote.
