Voting analysis

Lloyd Doggett has served since the middle of the nineteen-nineties and is ranking member of the Ways and Means health subcommittee. Taxation and health are the two largest subjects in his filings, in that order and by a distance — a legislative record almost entirely inside one committee's jurisdiction.

First elected in 1995, now serving across 16 terms. Lloyd Doggett falls in the veteran cohort.

Sponsored bills carry the Congressional Research Service's own subject classification. Lloyd Doggett's cluster into: Taxation (19), Health (18), Foreign Trade and International Finance (4), Social Welfare (3), Environmental Protection (2), Armed Forces and National Security (1).

The filings

Modernising vaccine injury compensation, saving Medicare, safe hospital staffing, stopping corporate inversions, and a tree measure. The inversion bill is the tax counterpart to the health work: both concern who ends up paying.

Where he broke ranks

He opposed a daylight saving measure, a children's online safety bill, a resolution on Iran and the consolidated appropriations act — each carried by the House with most Democrats behind it. Going outward he supported a war powers resolution, a bail reporting requirement and a fuel retailing bill that failed, and split on two farm bill amendments.
