Voting analysis

Lizzie Fletcher departs from her caucus almost as often as the frontline Democrats elsewhere in this group, and in the opposite direction. Where they cross rightward on Republican bills, most of hers are refusals: she voted no on a clergy act, a whistleblower programme improvement, a water stewardship act, a small business innovation measure, an Iran resolution and an organised retail crime bill — every one of which her caucus supported and the House passed.

Two members can arrive at the same departure rate by opposite routes. The number on a leaderboard cannot distinguish them; the table can.

Suing the President

One of her filings would bar self-serving presidential lawsuits. A Maryland Democrat on this site filed a companion argument from the other side of the same problem — prohibiting Presidents from collecting damages payments from the government. Between them the two describe a gap somebody noticed in how the executive can use the courts.

1223
Bills cosponsored

Of the 50 most recent of those, 48 currently sit at Introduced.

Energy tops her classified subjects, which for a Houston seat is unsurprising, though only the broadband and reproductive freedom bills, an immigration enforcement hiring freeze, and a disapproval resolution on administrative procedure fill out the recent list. She holds no committee leadership post.

Sponsored bills carry the Congressional Research Service's own subject classification. Lizzie Fletcher's cluster into: Energy (9), Health (8), Environmental Protection (5), Science, Technology, Communications (4), Taxation (4), Armed Forces and National Security (3).

Above the Texas Democrats

The Texas Democratic House group already carries a high average and hers is higher still.

Among the 13 Democrats in the Texas delegation, the average rate of voting against the party majority is 7.1%. Lizzie Fletcher is above that average at 8.9%.

Tenure and attendance

Four terms since the last decade closed, with an absence share a little above the middle here.

First elected in 2019, now serving across 4 terms. Lizzie Fletcher falls in the mid cohort.
