Voting analysis

Lucy McBath leads the minority on the Judiciary subcommittee covering crime and federal government surveillance, and one of her bills is about threats and attacks directed at judges. Judicial security is a subject that used to sit outside politics and no longer does. A bill on it from the senior minority member of the crime panel is the institution attending to its own exposure.

Of the 50 most recent of those, 47 currently sit at Introduced.

Education leads instead

Despite that post, education tops her classified subjects, with labour behind it and crime only third. Two of the named filings bear it out: a measure on charting a path to future success, and an early childhood workforce advancement act. A health claim denial transparency bill and one carrying an acronym complete the list.

Sponsored bills carry the Congressional Research Service's own subject classification. Lucy McBath's cluster into: Education (11), Labor and Employment (9), Crime and Law Enforcement (7), Health (6), Families (4), Agriculture and Food (3).

Where she broke ranks

Two amendment votes, one of which carried. One refusal, on a children's online safety act that passed. And two crossings, on cashless bail reporting and fuel retailing, both of which passed as well. Five departures, evenly balanced, with nothing tying them together.
